I have a few family photos to share with you from Saturday. The cousins got together and decorated gingerbread houses, opened presents, and apparently pose with silly elf hats! Here is my girl after like picture number 98! But I finally got her eyes straight, head up, no tonsils showing! And what glorious blue eyes she has!...... SWOON!
I don't often post pics of the "big" kids, but I had to post my sister, Lisa here! I guess the adults wanted in on the fun too! : )
Oh! And did I mention the hat moves, lights up, and plays music? Here is my "big kid!" ; )
My nephew, Alex.........And believe me, you'd better be quick with the camera with this kid!
......Unlike his sister Katie, who will pose alllllll day long for you, if you want!
Kyle, helping Hannah with her gingerbread house! (He takes his "Big Cousin" roll very seriously!) 
And my nephew, Nicholas, who is posing with his finished gingerbread house. (I think dad may have helped him just a bit!) ; )
And last, but not least, here is the entire crew together with Santa. Everyone looks great......except my girl, with her eyes closed. Which is why I was so excited about the first pic....cuz this is her norm! Oh! And just so you are clear......their shirts say, "Elves" not Elvis! LOL!
On top of all this fun on Saturday, Brian, myself and the kids went to my in-laws for dinner last night. I thought we were going there because my FIL's TV went out and Brian was going to "help" him "fix" it. But instead? They surprised our lil' family with a trip to Jamaica! I just about passed out! Who does that? PINCH ME!!! We are going in March.....which is just around the corner!!! YAY!!!!Off to school, to bring more decorations.......let the Griswald Christmas decorating contest continue........pictures to come soon! : )
Have a great day!!!!

Congratulations! You will have the time of your life. As a huge family treat, my son & wife, treated the whole family on a 3 day cruise. My husband & I, said we can die now...this has been the best thing ever, because we had all of our 11 grandchildren and my own kids, a total of 16! all together for nothing but fun. We had a ball....NOTHING....will ever beat that!
