Whew...is it over already?!

Christmas always seems to come and go so quickly...I can't believe it's already the day after!

* Christmas Eve *
Two of my beautiful cousins, Amanda and Molly!
My dad saw an opportunity here and took it!
Abbie giving her mommy some Christmas love :)
The kids all sportin' there new Christmas jammies we gave them!
Taylor decided to take a little break from the action, backed up and plopped down right in front of the presents!
Sisters! (my aunts Mary, Mom, Krissy, and Lori)
Girl cousins!
(Cheri, Madeline, Molly, me, Amanda and Tara)
Boys' turn!
(Adam, Chad (my bro) and Matt)
Cheri, Chad and me :)
Dad and Mom with all their grandkiddies!
Mom with her two littlest munchkins :)
Merry Christmas Dad and Mom :)

* Christmas Morning *

Taylor really had fun opening her gifts!
She was even interested in her new clothes!
She wasn't so sure of this singing doggie at first, but now she thinks he's pretty funny!
"I know there's something else in here somewhere!"
Sportin' her new bear purse from Gramma Julie
Matt got a new Packer hat and sweatshirt...just what he wanted!
Me and Taylor playing her new guitar from Grandpa Dave and Grandma Nettie!
* Later Christmas Day *
We had a delicious prime rib dinner at Jay and Cheri's with the whole family, plus Jay's brother Jim, wife Vicki, and girls Sam and Torrie from St. Louis! We opened a lot more presents and finished off the night with a round of Seinfeld Scene It...which Jay won. (of course Jay won, what else does he have to do but sit home and watch reruns all day??) Here's a little clip of some of the fun that Holly and Taylor had on one of Peter's new toys! *in the background you can hear Abbie playing her new recorder :)*

Hope you had a fun Christmas, too!

Looks like such a great time! Taylor looks especially grown up...it's been awhile since I've seen her! Can't believe how quickly our little ones grow!
