Christmas - Part 2 - Springfield


We celebrated Christmas with Dave's family on New Year's Day. We usually do it the weekend before Christmas but mother nature had other plans for us. Here's the gang feasting on Nanny's famous mexican food. The newest member of the crew is Missy's boyfriend, Doug (orange shirt). Ha, ha - "Melissa and Doug"....get it?! He was a trooper and blended in just fine. He even got some gifts!

Cute little Evie hamming it up for the camera. AJ, as usual, stuffing things in his mouth that won't fit.

Dave and AJ - their half grins crack me up.

Pam and Ken - such a cute couple and married the longest of anyone except Nanny and Papa, of course!

Charlotte and her Papa.

Nanny and Bryn. Doesn't Bryn look like Cindy Lou Hoo from "The Grinch That Stole Christmas" with her hair sticking straight up?

The present distribution begins...
Charlotte and one of her favorite cousins, Austin. She always talks about him for days after they visit.

All this activity will make a girl tired!

Finally, Santa arrives!

Everyone is so excited and asking Santa lots of questions.

Charlotte had to show Santa her new mixer. When she opened it, she said "this is what I've always wanted!"

Kellen, Robbie, and Charlotte were so cute lined up in front of Santa. I think Kellen was confused on his holidays when he got dressed that day!

Charlotte gets her turn with Santa. Little did Charlotte know that he would give her a coffee maker and blender to go with her mixer!

So excited! She's been telling everyone about her new appliances ever since.

Like a good big sister, she went up to get AJ's gift (some trucks). He was sacked out on my back in the Beco.

AJ is awake and we can take a picture of all the cousins.
