Christmas with the Cousins

I am behind in blogging - not how I wanted to start out the New Year! We have been busy with schoolwork, a few fun field trips, and an attempt to get back into some sort of routine, and I have fallen woefully behind in some of the December 2011 experiences I want to document on the blog. They will be posted over the next few days if I can get my act together.

Our annual Smith Family Christmas weekend was the weekend before Christmas this year, and Greg's whole family came in to the Burgh from all over to celebrate. It was so much fun. We packed a ridiculous amount of food, celebrating, and present unwrapping into one weekend. Herewith, a few of my favorite moments captured:

There was lots of fun in the playroom...

 

The incomparable Uncle Steve, ready to make things merry....

Delicious meals and special times together at the dinner table...

 

and of course, presents galore. Grammies sure do love to spoil their grands...

 

It probably goes without saying that, hands-down, the best part of the weekend was having the chance to spend time together. Before everyone left for home, we had a chance to get a shot of all the cousins.

It was a wonderful weekend!
