Christmas, Part 1

So starts the season of Christmas -- this year, I vowed to make more traditions and memories with my family and I think we have -- lots of cookie baking, Christmas movies, projects and decorating!  If I get motivated enough, I'll post more of those photos!
 
To start the holiday, each year we celebrate Christmas early with my family -- since my parents head to Arizona before the actual holiday and attempt to steer clear of any possible snowflakes.
 
It's always fun to spend time with cousins!
 
the littlest boys....

CRAZY!!!

deep-frying the turkey this year -- it turned out GREAT!  The men felt they needed to 'watch' the turkey - in case any wild animals came and attempted to knock over the vat -- my dad claimed he had to fight off a squirrel, but not so sure I believe that...

COUSINS!!!

all this boy wants is super heros for Christmas (last year it was sports, he's moved on, I guess)
 

the girls had the most fun playing with the boxes!

where oh where was my brother for this photo?  Not sure, he doesn't care for photos, so he was probably hiding -- but, it's a great photo of the rest of his family!!
