It was so very, very nice. Their oldest two have grown so much, both out of the house, so it's actually the first time our ENTIRE family has been together in three years! The last time I saw my nephew I was pregnant!
I can't tell you how blessed I felt just to see everyone again. And to see & hear how well everyone is doing.
My nephew is working and going to school, my eldest niece just got accepted into a private college where she plans to double-major, and just got straight As last quarter in high school, while working her first part-time job, and my youngest niece was the star in her junior high school play!
I've known these kids since my sister was their babysitter, before she even started dating their dad. My nephew was just 10 yrs old, and the youngest was only one! I've been their aunt since before I was officially their aunt. But who needs "official" to be family anyway?
I love these kids. I've watched them go thru so much. They've had a rough time of it thru the years. Maybe some time I'll tell you more of their story. Maybe. But they're such good, good kids. And it does my heart so good to see them doing well.

Okay, enough of the sentimental rambling. Here are the Christmas pics. Enjoy!

Looks like y'all had a lot of fun! Nice that you all were able to get together, doesn't matter if it was the week after. Anytimes a good time for family. (Well, at least once every three years or so, lolol.)
