The Holidaze

Sometimes the holidays seem to blend together. There is so much to do, yet everyday seems the same. Every other day there is some kind of family function or get together, and meanwhile the list of gifts to purchase never seems to get shorter. At least when it's all said and done, the kids all seem to have had a good time, and most of the adults too. Maybe that's just because it is in fact over. I know there is still New Year's Eve to come, but that's just a big party - so bring it on.
After several attempts, this is the best picture we managed to get of the cousins to give Grandma and Papa. I was surprised with how good it was considering how "well" the kids were cooperating.

Emma is still figuring out what this Christmas thing is all about and who Santa is etc. But none of that mattered when she saw her new piano. She immediately wanted to serenade daddy as a thank you.

Quite possibly her favorite part of the day was when she made a couple of new friends up at Grandma's house. I don't think she's put them down since.
