MERRY CHRISTMAS!

We were decorating the tree late in December this year and Avery found the perfect box to play in! She asked Santa for extenion cords, wrapping paper tubes, empty boxes, paper, phone cords, and anything otherwise dangerous! HA! She gets into lots these days! There is LOTS going on here these days.... Avery and the kids all had a great Christmas! We love all the festivities, religious traditions, and especially the time spent with Family. We have a BIG celebration on Christmas eve with the Hynes'- 56 people and counting! It is the highlight of our Christmas! The kids look forward to how dressy it is, the nummy food, all the fun and laughter. Santa shows up and this year the late night entertainment was Karaoke. Fun was had by all...

This one is too funny for words... Even Avery has a funny face. The only one smiling is Gracie Kate! At least no one is screaming in this photo... I won't mention any names EJH!
The Little guys is cousin Joey, son to my brother Jamey and his wife Erin, Middle guy is Ethan and he is the son to my next in line brother Steve and his wife Jaimee, and Little Addison who is Avery's playmate belongs to my brother Robbie and his wife Nicole. Nana and Papa went from 4 grandkids to 7 in one year!

This was taken around Thanksgiving time! Just love it of both of them. I did a quick shoot with all the cousins- hilarious to get 7 kids ages 8 and under to all look and be happy!
