Say "cheese!" All dressed and
ready to hit the road!
Dinner at the cousins' always includes a New Mexican traditional dish of posole and red chile.
After everyone finds a place to sit and after all have eaten, it's always a great time for games, Wii and Rock Band. This year the Sharper Image ball and Logo game seemed to be the highlight of game playing!
(why won't anyone sit with "My Pappa?"
look at how sad he is!)

I always bake a treat to celebrate the BIG birthday and
the younger kids do a superb job of singing Happy Birthday!
This year it was the famous decorated chocolate chip cookie!
...look who's the first to dive in and cut!!!!
It was fun to have the older nephews home from college and with all of us...I'm pretty sure my baby girl was the happiest to see them and be in their arms and hugging them! She's the luckiest little girl I know to have a security secret service of 5 protective ALL male cousins and 1 brother! No one can ever mess with her with that protection!
Uncle JackJack convinced my boy that he made "Figgy Pudding"
...he LOVED it!
(btw, it wasn't Figgy pudding...it was a pink fluff dessert)!
(there he goes diving in again!)
While the nephews were stuffing their faces with Figgy Pudding, Auntie is stuffing her face with appetizers from the appetizer bar! SO Busted....
Geeze, the appetizer bar is a very popular place to hang out at!
(spinach dip, sausage, cheese ball & shrimp)
Daddy, please don't cry! Evidence of you wiping your tears! There will be plenty of pecan pie so you can have seconds!!!
Cheers to Sparkling Apple Cider!
Cheers to family posing for pictures!
(as long as no one gets cropped out of a FB photos, right?)
"...Merry CHRISTmas to all and to all a good night!"
