christmas eve day ..

cash came running into the bedroom this morning .. momma momma he says .. is today the day .. the day that santa comes .. yes cash i say .. finally !! he says .. it seems that christmas eve has taken a little longer to get here than cash would like ..

we spent the day at uncle joe and aunt rhondas .. and because it is a whole family celebration kind of thing lucky went to .. really that means that we did not want to leave him alone the whole entire day .. he doesn't like to be alone .. poor mom .. he took up the entire back seat .. he flipped over onto his back and had his feet in the air the entire trip to tulsa .. he has no issues when it comes to riding in the car ..

this is leif .. he is in town from denver .. he is cash's age ..

this is wrenna .. leif's sister ..

uncle pat and uncle dan ..

neil and ryan (leif and wrenna's dad)

julien (neil's son) helping himself to the cheese log .. he was watching cash and leif try to turn a little house they built with foam squares around ..

the fella's finally enlisted ellie's help ..

elliot went with us .. because lexi got an american girl just like me doll for her birthday .. her name is stephanie .. the girls thought that it might be fun for elliot and stephanie to hang out as well ..

lexi and her new little brother jake ..

people everywhere .. remember my mom has 10 brothers and sisters so when we get together there are alot of us .. and today was no different ..

the food .. before ..

the food .. after ..

i know .. no pictures of plates of food .. no .. you do not get to see how high ross stacked his mashed potatoes this year .. because ..

no .. this poor momma did not dress her child in the dark .. this is two babies .. twin baby boys .. the brown sock baby and the blue sock baby ..

i was to occupied with holding the blue sock baby when everyone went thru the food line .. i could have cared less how many helpings of potatoes and green bean casserole ross put on his plate ..

i had to love .. snuggle .. kiss and squeeze these babies .. they live in PA and we might not see them again for a little while ..

plus .. they did not smell like dirt ..

i am just a little concerned though .. see the handsome boy in the brown pants and plaid shirt holding leif upside down .. he goes with the twins .. someone needs to tell mike that you don't hold babies that way ..
