Christmas in November

This past Saturday, Tom and I hosted our second annual "Christmas in November" present exchange for Patrick, Tommy and their cousins (unfortunately, this year their Vermont cousins were sadly missed). This gives the kids an opportunity to see each other open the gifts they picked out since my brother's kids live in Virginia and my oldest sister's kids are in Vermont.



It won't be a shock to anyone that my attempts to get a photo of all the kids and my dad (looking at the camera) was a complete failure. I do love some of the resulting images though-this one being my favorite.

The weather cooperated and the kids (and adults) were able to play some ball outside.

Patrick and Tommy both battled colds since Thanksgiving, but we still had a great time.
