More Christmas!

On the 26th we went to my brother, Nick's house. We celebrated with his family, our grandparents, and our cousins and their families. We had 3 days together. This is all the cousins on that side. Henry with his arm up, then down the left side is Emmett, Kale, Max, Zac,  my grandma, and Mikey. Then down the right side is Timmy, Brady, Sophia, Luke and Matt.

Grandma is watching Sophia and Brady play Trouble while Rick, Joni and Matt are in the background.

Zac mostly just wanted his mom (Joni) that weekend, unless Uncle Randy was around, then he was alright!

Sarah and her step-son, Emmett.

My brother making bacon for all of us the morning of our celebration.

Nick watching Zac and Joni make monkey bread in muffin pans. It was delicious!

This is later that morning on the 27th. We were tricked, the day before had been mild and beautiful. So we assumed the next day was as well, it was not! It was freezing with an extremely cold wind. So we only stayed at the park for about 10 minutes. It was still good for the little monkeys to get out and run around for that little bit.

I'm cold, let's go!

Henry, like most of the kids, enjoying the little bit of time outside.

Later we opened presents. Thanks Uncle Nick and Aunt Joni for the fart blaster - it is a well played with toy!

Uncle Pat as a Christmas present.

A few random shots of everyone as we open gifts. Rick, Zac and Joni, Kale and Sophia.

Emily and her joke box, the crib dribbler. A pretend box for a basically a hamster feeder for your baby so you don't have to get him/her out of their crib. We had some good laughs over it.

All the cousins. Back row is Kale, Brady, Tim, Sophia, Emmett and Lukey. Front row is Max with Zac, Henry, Mikey and Alex.

My cousin Sarah and her new husband Rick. We had never meet Rick and it was a pleasure to do so. The first night at Nick and Joni's he cooked an amazing meal for all of us.  And we had a great time getting to know him.

About 4:30 we went to my Grandparent's home. We used a party room to eat pizza and give my grandpa his gifts. Grandma had gotten everyone a jiggle bell to wear around their neck and the kids got a little gift bag with a blow up penguin beach ball, a washcloth and their jiggle bell. It was great because they could use those beach balls right there, and they had a lot of fun with them. They all had a good time ringing their bells, surprisingly, so did my grandpa.
