We switched tradition this year and had the Garis christmas the Sunday before christmas rather then on christmas evening like we had it since I was a little kid. It was nice to have it switched because we would not have been able to make it anymore if it had stayed on Christmas day. It was nice to see all my cousins and their kids again.... I always enjoy the Holidays when I can see them since it is only a few times a year and it is nice to catch up on each others lives...
Me and Staci were taking picture and then realized that we were both pointing in the same direction so we took a picture of each other taking a picture... "Hi Staci"!
My brother and sister with the girls.... Talya loves her Uncles Jeff a lot!
Pictures of all the kids.... we have to rent Churches to hold our family functions in when we get together with my Dads side of the family. We have a lot of 2nd cousins and it is nice to see about 30 of them running around....
"Mommy, please can I have the cookies"
"Pretty plllleasssse!"
Daddy and Talya
Passing the gifts out.... we pull names for the kids and we buy for that person except if its your childs 1st christmas then we all buy something for them...
All the kids sit at this little kids table for dinner, of course they are all done now but Talya and Savannah are playing on it. They aren't big enough kids to eat there though.... its for the 4-12 year olds.
Talya had Samara's name for christmas...
Talya got a melissa & doug puzzle book from Madden...
chase was celebrating his 1st Christmas and so he got all kind of little gifts from everyone...
Talya and Savannah were very concentrated on the puzzle book for a while I was just trying not to lose any pieces in all the chaos.....
