Big Daddy and I had a lot of stops to make this year for Christmas....
We hooked up with my Uncles (far left and far right) whom I haven't seen for a loooong time. Their families were there, my Mom and Cub, my sister Jen from Georgia and her little girl and my Memere and her beau. I'm standing behind Mom (the little lady in red) and Big Daddy is kind of hiding behind me.

My SIL, Bethie and myself on Christmas morning. She is always making me laugh about something. Maybe the mimosas gave us the giggles? Folks always mistaken her and I for sisters, but I fear it's only because there are times when we can really stand out in a crowd. (again, probably something to do with mimosas)
Abby and Molly
Abby has a new cousin to play with now!
It's so funny, but I always feel like a teenager at Christmas! I'm tired and I feel all of my fourty years, until Christmas day at my in-laws..... then I feel like a big kid again. I think it has something to do with them, and how they are. They are so good to us!
I am off and running to swap pressies with my girlfriends this morning. Tomorrow I am meeting my sisters in Freeport. There is a new outlet mall across from LL Bean and it's screaming my name!

Well, that looks like a splendid,Christmas. That's a big family that you have there.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun pictures! And both the times I've been to Maine I spent quite a lot of time at those particular stores in Freeport. In fact, I got my favorite pair of jeans at the Gap there.
ReplyDeleteOh to be back in Maine in December! That was one of my most favorite vacations.
A late Merry Christmas to you, Jes. And a Happy New Year!
What a fine looking family! Happy moments to be forever cherished.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun picks, aren't the kids so much fun tearing into their packages? And the photos of the dogs playing reminds me of mine. We played "find the cookie" at my house. It goes like this...I lock the dogs in my bedroom which they hate, they begin barking like crazy, I go into the living room pass out pupperonis and everyone breaks off pieces and hides them under pillow, in their socks, in pockets, on end tables, etc. We release the hounds and they tear into the living room and begin sniffing out the treats...it's always really funny to watch and the dogs love it! Never a dull moment at my house! Happy Holidays....xo Julie
