Moore Family Christmas

Saturday we had our Moore Family Christmas and what fun it was!! My baby cousin, Chad, who is now a tall 17 was our baby for the longest time...then Josie came along 2 years ago and this year...we added a whopping 3 babies to the mix!! WOW! We had the best time all sitting around watching the kids open gifts...well, Eli slept thru most of it as he is still itty bitty and doesn't play with much yet. Josie had such fun and looked super cute in her pink glittery boa! Sim and Millie were sitting up and playing with everything they could get their hands on. Food was incredible as always...the family favorite always being Mema's Mac-n-Cheese! We missed Lauren, Meghan, Jason, Jenn and Amelia but hopefully next year everyone will be there. Here are some photos from the day...hope you enjoy!! Coming up next...Colbert Family Christmas on Sunday!

Cousin Kristin clipping Eli's fingernails for the 1st time - I am scared to do it!! She was the pro and Eli just sat there and sucked on her hand - completely oblivious to the clippers! :)
DeeDee with Eli - look at those lips!


Millie and Sim playing with their new toys.

Too stinkin' cute! Sim likes to kiss everybody!!

I think it's hilarious that I am holding Cass from behind in the family picture. I am like the "man" holding onto his "woman". HA!

Looks like everyone had a great time. We are determined to be there next year and hopefully a trip sooner. Jason would love to be there :( He wishes Amelia got to see her family more. THanks for keeping us in mind.

Take care,
Jen
