2017 is officially here and I'm still needing to catch up on 2016. This year, we spent Christmas Eve at Grandma and Pop-Pop's house with aunt and uncle and cousins. We ate some delicious food and argued about who got to snuggle Baby E, so it was like the rest of the holidays.

| A sorta smile? |
Toddler cousin greatly enjoyed the traditional cornflake wreaths that dye everyone's mouths green and sometimes crack people's fillings the next morning (mine, oh joy unbounding.)

Will and Reina woke us up on 6:00 a.m. on Christmas morning. We'd hoped for 6:15 but it was close enough. We unwrapped family presents, cooked breakfast, played with toys and even took a nap before the rest of the gang came over around 9:00. While we waited for everyone to arrive, I let Baby E open his present from us which kept both Toddler Cousin and Reina busy for a few minutes.

We all opened presents, ate a delicious brunch, napped, assembled Legos (tradition!), watched Galaxy Quest (my present!), watched football (sad face), watched Coco play with her new toys, the empty boxes and wrapping paper, stayed warm because it was cold and snowy and just had a really nice day.

| The obligatory new-Christmas-pajamas-just-take-our-picture-already-picture. |

| I included this picture with hoods because I think Will looks like me! Poor little guy. |

| Not slapping his sister, just hamming it up. |
So in conclusion, it was a really great holiday. We enjoyed some time off after Christmas. Glenn and I worked a few days and had help from the grandparents in keeping the kiddos entertained. We had some nice family time and I think everyone is ready to go back to the grind tomorrow. Bring on 2017 - we are ready for you!
