Oops!

Okay this is a lot harder than I thought.  This morning will have to count as yesterday's post and tonight I'll do another one for today.  So let's just think of this as December 5th.

December 5th - Family

I don't know how most people feel about their family but I LOVE mine, extended and immediate. Don't get me wrong, there are things that can drive me crazy about them, but at the center there is only LOVE!

These pictures below are of some of my extended family as well as my sister and sister in-law.  It just so happens that I come from quite a large family that I don't get to see as often as I would like.  My cousins and I have been close since birth and I have to say it's pretty awesome.  I mean how many famillies do you know that still see their cousins on an ongoing basis.  These pictures are from our 3rd Annual 'Kids' Family Christmas and we all make a point of getting together before Christmas, usually in November, to exchange tacky gifts, eat and primarily take goofy pictures that you can see below.  We've known eachother our whole lives and most of us our married now, but the fact that we all are willing to get together just to make sure we see one another before the holidays is pretty special.  I guess we can thank our parents for instilling family values in us.
