This blog is part 1 of our Christmas celebration. We are so blessed to have such amazing family and friends. Our boys had a total of three celebrations in three different cities.
First stop - a small, quaint town where a certain someone spent her first 18 years of life. We had such a great time with my parents, my grandmother and extended family. With eight fully walking, talking great-grandchildren now, Christmas Eve at Grandma M's house will NEVER be the same!!!
Our family picture for the season. The only one taken where we are all smiling and looking at the camera. At least there is one!
Papa & Grammy/Ghee with their four grandkids. We had to bribe L with daddy's blackberry to sit still. ;) Thanks again to my mom - the best cook who always makes the most amazing meals for all of these little mouths!!!! 
The "EIGHT GREATS" as I have now dubbed them. Amazing that we have a picture with them all looking and smiling. They are the joy of my grandmother's heart!
The boys with their two of their fav people. So blessed that despite the age differences, they all love each other and get along great! (I only wish Syd lived closer since she is old enough to babysit now!!!!)
J with one of his many new games. Opening presents has become a speed sport for him these days.
"Why doesn't this fit?" 
L had such a fun night with all of his cousins. Here he is running away from one of them...
The two BIGGEST monkeys. What else would you expect from 4&5 year old boys?
L is quite fond of both of his big cousins these days. He especially liked climing over C - who was a good sport and let him step all over her!
My sweet grandmother and boys. It always goes by too fast, but we are so thankful we were able to spend yet another holiday with her. What I love the most is that my grandfather is never far from our thoughts and hearts - so much so that J knows who he is and recognizes him easily by picture now. Being so young, he doesn't quite understand how much we all miss him, but he does understand how special he was and that even though he can't explain it, he loves Popi too.
One of J's favorite thing to do with Grandma M is play Uncle Wiggly. I think he is anxious to take some of his new games to play with her soon!

What a great Christmas it was...all of the smiles tell the tale! The one thing I missed this year....just no extra time...was making Christmas cookies the way we had the past 2 years. We must get that into next years schedule...Grammy's resolution this year is to have most decorating and shopping done...before Thanksgiving!! (remind me of that about Labor Day) Thanks for all of your help..couldn't have made it without you!!
