Christmas Day at Grandma and Grandpa Vincent's

As it goes with tradition, we spent Christmas Day at my Grandma and Grandpa Vincent's home. Pretty much the whole family was there--at least all of the kids, grandkids and great-grandkids. It was wonderful! For years, there were no little ones and now there's a ton of them! And we keep having more babies! Well, all those younger cousins of mine do! My days are done and over with! (Yay!) We had one new addition this year--Evan Glenn Emery was almost 5 months at Christmas. He is Bob and Sara's little boy. And such a cutie!

And great news...I opened my Christmas card from Bill and Megan. It had a great picture of the three of them and was signed "Bill, Megan, Allie and TBA Reininger" AAAHHHHH! We'll have another new one next Christmas!!!!

My cousin Judy (Hill) Green was home for Christmas this year! When I was growing up, Judy was the beautiful, glamorous cousin that lived in California. Well, I'm all grown up now and Judy is still in California (after also living in Texas and Scotland!), she's still beautiful and glamorous! She and Hannah totally hit it off because they both share a love of rocks, minerals, etc, etc. Hannah is so excited because Judy said she'd send Hannah some stuff of hers. I think Hannah is expecting a package to arrive anytime!! :) ANYWAY....her awesome husband Tom dressed up as Santa and gave gifts to the kids this year. It was so great! Scared poor Elly half to death though! It was still fun to see Santa come visit!

Lyle and the rest of the boys were being just that--boys! Lyle brought his "spud gun" and were launching potatoes all over the place!

Here's a potato Noah ran to find after being launched!

The Reiningers left a little early, so Allie got to open her gifts early.
