{pretty, happy, funny, real}

{Pretty}
Pondering chocolate...

{Happy}  cousins, cousins, and more cousins!
Missing 2 little guys whose parents just moved them to Hong Kong...
 Not a wonderful picture, but includes all the kiddos on this side of the family (plus Santa)!!
Each child sings or plays one song for Santa before receiving a gift from Nana and Papa.  Here is one of my talented nephews on his cello. 

{Funny}
I have a particularly silly brother-in-law who's making a collage of everyone in the family wearing these goofy glasses.  He insisted on including the new baby.


{Real}
Some very last minute treat-making...  Thank goodness for my little elves...
And here we all are after Christmas Eve Mass.  This is about as good as it gets!!

    I loved your pictures!! Esp. seeing you all together in the last one. I like that idea of having the kids play music to get their present! Maybe I'll use that one sometime :)

    What a lovely tradition of sharing the gift of music with each other before receiving a gift! So special! Merry Christmas!

    Merry Christmas! You must have a musical family - that looks like a nice custom.
