Christmas with all my family!

Hanging out with family at my parents! What a fun day... lots of laughs! :)
Sorry Erin, I had to post this picture! :) This was Erin's gift from Aimee - A clock or was it a necklace? :)
All my sisters: Me, Ashleigh, Megan, Erin and Lindsey, Liz, Annah, Sarah and Aimee.
The next day the Kings came up for a visit! Look at all that yummy food!!!
Alex, Lily and G-dad.
"What? A picture of meeee.... now how did that happen?" :) I'm always the one taking the pictures... not the one in them! :)
The little girls lovin' on Lily!

Most of the Grandkids - we were missing Joe, Megan, Sarah and Matt. Oh, and look, there's Buddy. He's sitting on g-dad's lap in the right hand side of this picture! :)
The King cousins - Alex and Ryan.
Lizzy, Maddax and..... Ryleigh, AGAIN! :p
My wonderful Aunt and Uncle.
And last but definitely not least, my amazing mommy and wonderful g-dad.

It was so great seeing everyone! It was a bitter sweet day... Christmas was my grandma's favorite holiday. And now that she's not with us, it's always sad celebrating without her. Christmas will always be filled with lots of wonderful memories of her and everything she did to make each and every Christmas so special for all her family! She was an amazing grandmother and will always be missed!

We love you guys and wish we were able to see everyone more! :) Thanks for all the wonderful gifts!

Great pictures (espically the one of me!) and a great account of the holidays. So true about grandmom. You got some really good pictures. I don't think we will ever lack in pictures with all of us these days. Our memories are well documented. :)

Love the photo of all the sisters !! Poor Joe and Josh must feel left out. Great photo of your mom and
granddad, they both have their eyes open ! It was a fun day and we really enjoyed being with everyone. Sorry we missed out on seeing Joe and your dad.
Hope to see you all in the spring.
