mini photo shoot {cousins}

Now that my mom has received her picture I can finally share all the pictures I took.  In November we got all the cousins together for the first time since Cohen was born to get a picture for Gramma.  We wanted to surprise her with it for Christmas! And we did!  We ordered her two canvas prints and hopefully will get a third soon or either the whole family or at least the grown up kids.
The kids did great! 
It was nice to have Jana behind me to be weird and silly to keep their attention!




 























{Yes! We are done!}

Christmas Day

Christmas is here!!
The kids did well and didn't come into our room until about 6:50. 
 I told them to give me a minute to get before going down so 
I could watch them get into their stockings.  
Stockings were always my favorite part growing up so 
I tend to go overboard with stocking goodies for the family.




The kids did good waiting patiently for the presents to get passed around. 
Then we all dig in!







After all the presents were done I worked on cleaning up the paper and low
 and behold we "forgot" a present behind the tree.  
It was for Michelle and it was the one thing she has been asking for all year!
An ipod touch!

Then it is on to our traditional coyote breakfast!
I have been eating coyotes on Christmas morning
for as long as I can remember!

All dressed up and ready to head to the Drummond Family Christmas!










Present time!




After presents we ate dinner and then dessert.
