Christmas Eve

So a couple of days before Christmas, Todd took me up to Syracuse to Ra-Lin's to get my Christmas present....my dream camera...a digitial SLR. We went to this store as we found it to have the best price in the flliers. I pulled it out for the first time Christmas Eve morning, determined to use it to capture the holiday. This is my first picture...and honestly, one of my favorites. Love the look on Abbey's face! When I got to my Mom's house to welcome my sisters and their families, I snapped this photo. They all groaned, but it's another one of my favorites...and they all like it, too. I spent the morning there and Todd and I brought the kids back that evening for dinner (buffet style....everyone loved my meatballs!! even Mom asked me for my recipe...the first time ever!) and gifts. Adam loved playing with the big boys.. Our nephews look handsome in the clip-on ties they picked out :) And I got Carolyn to pose for this picture by promising to leave her alone after that!! Sarah had superglued her face earlier when putting her claws...I mean nails...on! Experimenting with foreground shots...Todd in the back getting kisses from Jamison! Love this picture! Jeff trying to help me to get Adam to look at the camera... Adam hanging out in Uncle Bobby's room watching the big boys play games while playing with his cars....he looks so old here!
Of course, I'm not crazy about my double chin in this picture, but I wanted to get myself in there and I like this picture of me and Logan!
