Christmas Part I

So, this year for Christmas we have had a lot going on, and we're still not done! Rather than try to lump everything into one blog, I'm doing separate blogs for each event, starting with the Reynolds family gathering. My parents, sister, BIL, nieces and nephew joined us at our home for supper, presents and Birthday cake for Jesus. We had a great time! We had Sophia, 6; Riley, 2; Cora, almost 21 months; and Haddie, almost 9 months! Oh, and one in the cooker! Hard to believe there will be 5 of them next year, and it'll just be that much crazier!!! :) We laughed as the kids seemed more interested in each other's gifts then the ones they had received. Kids will be kids and what can you do about it? :) Sophia, being the oldest of the crew, received some pretty special gifts, one being a horse for her one doll. I had to chuckle as she was very adamant to Riley and Cora that it was her toy and they were not to touch it and then we'd catch them trying to ride it. We had a fantastic time laughing, eating and just being together as a family. Here are some photos of the evening! Hope you enjoy! :)

Some year, when they're all much older, we'll get a photo where they're all looking at the camera at the same time with nice smiles! :) Not this year, apparently!

David received some good cognac from his brother-in-law! What a brothers for? :) 

Cora received a FANTASTIC gift--a Book of Cousins! It's a photo album full of photos of her beloved cousins! :) 

Dad received a Lego model of the "Falling Waters" home by Frank Lloyd Wright. We thought it would be a good challenge for him... he's already put it together... in 5 hours. 

We all got Mom a pretty cut glass pitcher with matching cut glass glasses! :) I think she likes it! :) 

"Happy Birthday Jesus!"

I sure do love my sister!

Our husbands were being very silly. Too much holiday cheer, I say!

And, who can forget these two? We love you!!!
