This Christmas Eve I got to have them all together!
Ever since I was teeny tiny we have been spending Christmas Eve with my mother's family in St. Louis. We always go to Mass and then to someone's home for food, drink, togetherness, and to exchange presents. I always have so much fun... I just love this family so much and the tradition has made this time together so valuable to me.
Benjamin got to experience this tradition for the first time this year! So did his cousins, Greyson and Jackson! (Well, Greyson in my cousin Emily's son so technically they're not cousins, but let's keep it simple. I hope they grow up seeing enough of one another to feel like they're cousins anyway! And, really, this is Jackson's 2nd year of it all, but he doesn't know or care either!)
Seeing the three of them together reminds me of me and my cousins when we were little!
This is my cousin Jennifer, myself, and my cousin Courtney.
This is Ben with Greyson and Jackson
And my other cousin and his wife announced they are bringing another baby to the family in August! Yay! I am so excited for them!!! Once you're a mommy, you just get so excited for other mommies because you know how much joy they are getting to experience. So fun!!!
This is another one of the 3 girls and my cousin Michael, the one who just annouced he and his wife are having a baby!
