"F" Family Christmas

Christmas with Todd's family was once again filled with fun and traditions. Grandma Jan works so hard to make the day just perfect. From the beautifully decorated table and tree to the scrumptious dinner and bazillion desserts, it couldn't be more perfect.  Jan has a way of making everything so cozy and comfortable. I'd like to think I'm good at some of those things as we create memories and traditions for Shannon. I will openly admit however, that Todd will have to be in charge of the food part. I think because he grew up with a mom who was such a good cook, he developed the love of and skill for cooking!

















Shannon with her cousins, Alex, Adam, Christy and Mark. Please ignore (we'll now you will look if you haven't noticed already) Mark's unchristmas like attire!


















Adam is just the best big cousin! He loves to hang out and play with Shannon and she returns and welcomes the attention! 















So typical Shannon, staring at new things and people like they have 2 heads! It had been a while since she had seen Aunt Lisa and couldn't take her eyes off her!















This was Shannon's second outfit of the night (hat included). The first one got a little damp if you know what I mean. We got caught up in all the excitement and change in routine of the day that we forgot a diaper change! Oops!   She loved the giant bow and was finally starting to figure out how all the present opening worked!
