Christmas in Virginia

Yes, we were still celebrating Christmas through the New Year. We celebrated Christmas with my side of the family in the middle of January. We had a great time. My mom made us a yummy brunch and we opened gifts afterward.

Traditionally, we open gifts according to age. Of course, things can get a little crazy with six kids below the age of ten. Tate went first and enjoyed eating the paper again, which made my dad nervous for some reason. I would think that he would be used to stuff like that now – my sister lets her kids run wild and put all sorts of things in their mouths (just this past summer my nephew, Joey, decided to try to eat a rock while watching my nieces play softball).



I’ll leave you guys with some pictures of my family – If you look closely at my nieces, they all wore summer dresses. They are so funny! I must say that I liked all of their dresses (Cela is wearing the red polka dot dress; Cailin is wearing the black and white polka dot dress; Ambria is wearing the purple Asian style dress; Alexia is wearing the pink dress; and Joey is the only other small boy with spiky hair).



Here's Tate hanging out with my mom and my niece, Cela -- he was quite taken with Cela.

Here's are the boys hanging out.
