It has been tradition on my side of the family to celebrate Christmas on the eve until the wee morning of Christmas Day. Every year our family party gets bigger and bigger with the addition of significant others and/or babies, and it only gets more fun! Twenty-eight of us cousins participated in a secret gift exchange where we had to describe the person we had a gift for, and of course, every description was on point and crazy funny. The little cousins also had their own gift exchange. Michael was so excited to open a bag of Buzz Lightyear pajamas! He received a bunch of presents -- a matchbox tri-level garage track, thomas the train toys, a buzz lightyear gun, a real baseball tee, shoes and clothes -- to just name a few. It's been rather overwhelming to unwrap all the presents and make room for all the new gadgets and gizmos.
We also try to take family pictures in front of the tree, and its like having the paparazzi come and take your picture. You don't know which camera to look at and smile for, so that's the reason why it seems like everyone is looking everywhere.
The holidays are so much fun! We love being together as a family; after all it's our favorite place to be. =)
