Christmas in CT #4: Christmas Day

We spent Christmas day at Grandma With the White Hair's house (my grandma). Almost the whole family was there (we were missing Dan and Miki and their boys, the other California cousins). Tyler and I hadn't been back for Christmas in 7 years (the first Christmas we were married) so it was awesome getting to spend it this year with my crazy family. Lots of yelling, laughing, eating and lounging.


Uncle Paul and my cousins Stephanie and Kimberly.


My mom imparting some kind of gravy wisdom to my uncle.


At this point both of our kids were slightly over-whelmed, tired and cranky. I think all the people and all the excitement kind of freaks them out. They are used to getting up, spending the day with me just the 2 or 3 of us and hanging out at home. Sadly our kids make lousy travelers.









And of course no Christmas would be complete without the poppers and the crowns and the jokes and the yelling between my Uncle Pete and his wife Carol. The food was delicious, too!









My cute old grandma. She's seriously the healthiest one in the whole family and she's 88.



We all had a good laugh at Carol trying to read the jokes from the poppers.



 

We FINALLY opened presents! And of course our kids were once again spoiled beyond reason with toys and clothes. (Oh, and I forgot to mention the FlipVideo camera my dad got for me and Tyler. It's AWESOME!!!!)








Some of us decided to get a full day's use out of our crowns.







The kids were exhausted and had a fabulous Christmas thanks to everyone!
