Christmas Night..Butler Style!

The Butlers is a big family -Todd is the youngest of 8 kids. The one time a year where the ones who live local get together is Christmas evening. Partially, Chuckie informed me, for Todd's birthday when I told him Todd didn't want a cake this year. As older brothers do, he said too bad. I didn't get many good pictures that evening. Todd's eyes were closed in most and I was experimenting with 'modes' BUT this picture is funny to me...Abbey is super into her Dad's birthday cake! AND don't you see an Abbey-Todd resemblance here?

Everyone hung around and chatted....and Adam spent a long time sorting through Aunt Missie and Uncle Chuckie's antiques in this corner with cousins Jillian and her husband Danny. Their house is like an collectible shop! My favorite piece is a giant Indian....I need to get a picture of it. Anyhow, Adam was cute because he was so into it! Nice to spend time with the Butlers...Abbey pretty much stayed with Mommy or Daddy...tired out from such an exciting day. And if I remember right, Todd's gut ache to the spicy sauce he had for lunch really geared up :)
