Christmas #1

Time for our annual Christmas tour to begin. This year our tour will be much shorter and we will travel a lot less. Although I'm excited to spend lots of time relaxing at home, I'll miss spending time with my family....especially my Texas family!

Christmas #1 was for my Dad's side of the family. We got together at my cousin Lori's and spent the day eating, visiting, and opening gifts. We always have way too much fun when we're together!


Santa Kinley (my cousin Kara's daughter).... Rylee (Kara's other daughter) and Jenna....
John (my cousin Lisa's husband) and Kinley...



Quinn (my cousin Lori's son) singing and playing.... Jenna playing Jingle Bells...



Grandma and Kinley....


Jacob and his PSP....



My cousin Lisa, her husband John, and my Uncle Tom (and a tiny bit of my Aunt Barb)...






My uncle Tom, my Dad, and Joe (my cousin Lori's husband) and his son Quinn....I totally captured my dad in this photo. This is so him!! My cousin Lori and her son Quinn.....



Uncle Sudsy, Kyle, and Kinley....LOVE those chubby baby legs (I mean Kinley's, not Kyle's...although I suppose yours are pretty cute too, Kyle)!!!


Quinn passing out gifts!




Quinn loved his dad's white elephant gift.....although he was convinced that the nerf gun was actually a vaccuum!




My dad, Jenna, Rylee, and Quinn watching a video of my dad's train layout on Lori's ipod...



My cousins Lori, Kara, and Lisa (they are sisters)


See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil.....



My Grandma D. and I.....Wow - you can't deny that I'm her granddaughter...just look at our identical expressions!


My cousin Kyle taking an after dinner nap....



Aunt Nancy feeding Kyle while he sleeps....


John needed a nap too.....





My cousin Jessica and Grandma....



Mom giving a texting lesson to Aunt Nancy (scary!!)....



Jenna and Uncle Sudsy reading together...



Time for our annual Christmas tour to begin! This year our tour is much shorter, with very little travelling involved. Although I'm excited about spending lots of time relaxing at home, I will really miss seeing family....especially my Texas family!

OK, my name was not supposed to be "Lori, who can", it should have said "Lori, who can't sign in to blogger because she can't remember what her password is"!
