Every year since I can remember my mom's side of the family got together the weekend BEFORE Christmas to celebrate. This year was no different. We had tons of food, the kids got to decorate gingerbread cookies and open presents. It is always great to visit and catch up with family members that we see about once a quarter. Of course this year was much better for us since The UA Wildcats WON the Las Vegas Bowl in football. Hee hee.
Taylor was old enough this year to actually work on the project instead of just eating all the candy. Hers turned out pretty well.
The boys tried to do graham cracker houses again, but the royal icing wasn't drying fast enough so they just stuck to decorating their cookies...and of course sneaking the candy.
Present time! Jackson and Anthony both received an Optimus Prime this year. Those kids have a lot of "Thank you" cards to write up and send out.
Taylor loved her "baby" that she got this year. Fortunately, the under clothes are sewn directly to the doll's body so I won't find naked babies all over the house. hee hee.
Cousins...The boys posing with their cousin Tiffany. Of course I forgot to try and get a picture of all of the "new generation" together. There are 6 of them. Tiffany - 8, (my) Anthony - 7, (my) Jackson - 5, Thomas - 3, (my) Taylor - 2.5 and (baby) Taylor - 1. I am patiently waiting for my other younger to start having kiddos. But they still need to get married first. hee hee.
