Holiday Fun Follow-up - Christmas Eve 2011

Christmas came and went so quickly again this year, and we had a wonderful, wonderful time. I thought I enjoyed it as a kid, but experiencing it as a parent is a million times better! We get to enjoy some of the traditions I had growing up, and then we've made our own that make our celebrations all the more special.

What a dapper little fellow!

Cousin "rasslin'" as they say in Iowa

Looks.so.much.like.his.dad.in.this.one!

Grandma with her two youngest grandkids!

And look over there! Here's another one!

Babies playing by the tree

Santa made a very special visit to Grandma and Grandpa's house

Here is Santa giving Alex some chocolate coins for being a good boy.

It's hard to fool this one...he kept on wondering where Uncle Jimmy went!

This one loved the Christmas Eve cavatelli from Gino's!

And, she liked sitting on Santa's lap

The calm before the storm...
