This year all the kids got to come home for Christmas. It's been years since we have all been able to be together at the same time. And since the last time we have all been together, there have been marriages, births, etc. so this is a 'first' time for a lot of things.
Here are some pictures of the things we did during Christmas.
We had cousins and aunts and uncles visit us for some of the time. Here are some pictures of relatives visiting while all the kids were here.
Time to eat! It seems like it was always time to eat.
We had a night with relatives that we all had a 'white elephant gift' exchange.
All the white elephant gifts all wrapped up.
Lots of family shots.
Tyson, Suzie and Adam's boy, playing with the cars.
Tyson was more interested in toys and the play kitchen than white elephant gifts.

I guess this is the 'new normal' in photo poses.
Cousin's from New York brought their new puppy with them.
Ah, yes- kid corruption at its best!
Showing Evelyn how it's done.
It didn't take Evelyn (Sam and Amber's girl) long to learn how to eat squirt whipped cream.

We even took family pictures.
These three family pictures will enlarge to a much larger size so you can see all the details.

Looks like game night.
Push me!

We tapped Sam for all the tech help we could while he was here.

We had a great Christmas spent together.
