Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa's and Lunch with the Herdegs

On Christmas morning, we took our time relaxing in the morning.  Around noon we stopped over at Grandma and Grandpa's for a few minutes, then went over to Uncle Jim and Aunt Jill's to celebrate with lots of the extended Kinsella family.  It was wonderful chaos, as always.  The kids had lots of fun together and all of the "older" cousins were so good with Cam and Leah.  It is funny for me to write older in reference to all of the kiddos that were always the younger cousins to me, but for Cam and Leah they are the big kids to look up to!  The adults had fun together too, mainly centering our chatting and hanging out down in the pub and around the food in the kitchen.  The perfect places to spend time!

Yep, this is one crowded room

Grandma's turn to open a gift.  The room doesn't look quite as crazy and full from this angle!

That is a lot of people on the couch!  Aunt Jen, Maggie, Joe, Matt, Patrick, Tim and Cameron

Leah loved this little chair that was just her size

It was the same thing at this Christmas - not many pictures were taken, but that doesn't have anything to say about how much fun we had!!

On the 26th, we drove back home to Syracuse.  The Herdegs were driving up from Massachusetts and stopped at Mom's house on their way to Rochester.  We all had lunch together and hung out for a couple of hours.

Add in some spouses and kiddos.

And of course, the required goofy picture!!

We are so lucky and blessed to have so much amazing family and so many wonderful times in our lives.  Merry Christmas!!
