Almost everyone made it to my mom's this year for Christmas. I left for home on Sunday, and after a windy but great trip, I ended it in a horrible snowstorm one hour from home. Not a fun drive. Thankfully, after a couple of close calls, I made it safely home. The picture above is of the three grandkids that made it home this year. Maria is three months old and not fond of being held by "little" people, Emma is 2 (almost 3) and not fond of looking at the camera, and Jade is 7 months and had a BAD cold, poor baby.
Maria and Emma got matching outfits from Aunt Holly this year. We got a tiny smile out of Maria, and a huge one from Miss Emma. Emma LOVES her cousins, "Ria and Jada!"
My brother Jeremy and his wife Melissa. We had a hard time getting Emma to give us a smile, so Dad was getting tired of smiling by the time we got her at least looking.
But, she was really proud of her new bunny shoes, so smiling wasn't a problem here!
If any of you know Nick, you know that he has a hard time getting his pictures taken as well. 99% of the time his eyes are closed so this pic is his reaction to my command to keep his eyes OPEN!! Ha!
Here is sweet Jada! This little girl will charm you right to death. She is very free with her big smiles and everyone I talked to at home had to tell me how adorable she is and how they just love her so much! I have to agree with them. She is a heart stealer for sure.
Here is the "wild" outfit that Aunt Holly got for little miss Jade this year. Here she is proudly showing off her ability to stand while just holding on to a chair. She was quite nervous about it, but decided it was okay.
Here is a pic of Ryan's new little family. Maria is pretty close to the spitting image of her daddy, with a little bit of her big sister Casey thrown in.
Here she is showing off that beautiful smile of hers. Grandma went all out on her little outfit here! :-) Christmas was a lot of fun and it was so nice to be able to sit down with the fam and enjoy the time together. I hope yours was wonderful as well!

Great Pictures Holly. Glad you were all able to spend the time together.
Hey Holly,
Love the pictures. It is neat to be able to keep track of your fam through your blog since I don't ever see them. Your nieces are adorable! I know that you are enjoying them. Glad you made it home safely!
Hey Holly glad to hear that you made it safely to your Moms, you have some great pictures too. Be sure and say a prayer for us as we are now preparing to move to Florida. I leave Friday the 11th from Ruth's and going home to pack and then back here to Florida. Thanks for sharing! Eileen
Great pictures... cute kiddos. Glad you made it home safely!
