Every year we get together for Christmas with my Mom’s side of the family. It’s one of my favorite times, I just wish we didn’t always seem to have some place to be that night that we have to rush home afterwards. It’s harder for every one to be there with all the grandkids married with kids of their own, but it’s still a good crowd. This year we have 4 new babies (my little cousins are now having babies!!!) in the family. I have not seen any of the new ones in person, so I was thrilled to get to play with them. Marcia and her family (who’s husband I have not met before, she lives in Colorado) were there for the first time in years. It’s so odd seeing my little cousins (who I remember being born) having a baby of her own! Micah is a doll!! (Sorry but I sucked at taking pictures that day.) He is the oldest out of the 4 new babies. Next up is Nora, Michael’s newest one. Nora looks just like a Montgomery with those dark eyes. She favors Michael a lot more than Maggie does Jason. I wish I had gotten a picture of the 3 babies that were there (Sierra wasn’t there with her little (read hoss) Tucker). Nora is HUGE compared to Micah (he’s a month older than her) and Taylor. Taylor is the 3rd in line for this year. She is VERY petite. In her pictures she does not look that small, but she is teeny tiny. Tucker brings up the rear this year. Taylor and Tucker are cousins (i.e, 1st cousins) who are just 5-6 weeks apart, but Tucker looks like he is 10 months old.
Instead of doing baby showers for everyone, on their first Christmas everyone gets the new baby a gift. This year I decided to make someone for each one. I have been wanting to make these cute little bibs from The Purl Bee for someone. I used flannel instead of terry cloth due to I waited till the last minute and did not like the terry cloth which was at Wal-Mart. All in all I think they turned out great!
