The night we arrived in C-town, we had a Mexican dinner with Mimi's family. I just love the little cousins. The girls, ages 5, 4, and 3, just played and played and played.
*Hoping my mom got a better picture than I did. Waiting on that CD to come. Hey Mom, Can you burn a CD? Thanks.*
Elle made these super cute toboggans for the little ones. Doesn't K look like a gangsta with the toboggan and jewels?
After the extended family left, we did our traditional one gift on Christmas eve. Typically we do PJs all around, but this year we rocked the boat. For as long as I can remember, all 30 something years, my parents have purchased PJs for Christmas eve (except that one year...). I love it! And it is something that I want my children to remember that their parents also did for them. So, the torch has been passed and now the grandkids are the only ones getting PJs from now on. There you have it...I ruined Christmas (HA!).
But we still got a picture of the big kids.
Christmas morning LilE woke up to a plate full of cookies, just as requested.
We played our games while opening presents.
This year, Christmas Bingo.
LilE got lots and lots of goodies. She received a new ballerina outfit in hopes of taking some lessons this year (which she immediately went to put on and wore for the rest of the day)
and a Bitty Baby of her own (since Momma will have her own come June).
Did you know newborns like to play airplane on the day they are born?
Oh, and LilE got her gangsta hat too.
On the 26th we headed to visit Pop's family. More cousins!! I really wish we lived closer to our family. Both sets of kids had the best time! Obviously, dress up was a fun time for all.
We had such a great time with our extended family!
We are so blessed with family who we also call our friends.

Loving the new entries and pictures...
Reminds me of all those years at Grandma's and also Pearl's house where the cousins played and played and played.
By the way, you didn't ruin Christmas......just started a NEW tradition!
