God love Nick! He is doing exactly what he's told: hold the baby and smile...too bad his cousins just wouldn't cooperate! I guess being the oldest is sometimes difficult too!

We had so many Christmas celebrations this year that we were really merry! We had a special celebration on the Sunday before with Charlie's grandmother. She turns 90 this coming February, on our anniversary actually, so she wasn't sure she would want to brave the elements and venture out on Christmas.

Sue's brother John, his daughter Tiffany and husband Dennis all arrived with their kids in tow too! It was so much fun to have a house full of kids celebrating Christmas. It made me thankful for the cousins Sophia has and brought back fond memories of all us getting together on holidays too. Of course I am the youngest and so I was ALWAYS the one picked on and made to do the dirty work, but it's all just fun memories now! It was good to see what future Christmases may be like with Chris's newest on the way and more children in our future (not yet, but future!!) too.

Grandma really raked in the goods and got plenty of snacks for her junk food drawer! We all know her love of candy and insatiable sweet-tooth, so we stocked her up good!
