A cousin Christmas

I'm slowly downloading pictures from my camera. Not all at once and I really don't have a rhyme or reason to it. These were chosen so I could email the pictures to Craig's brother and because we plan on printing some of these out.

At any rate, I have to say the highlight of my Christmas was having Madeline meet her (then only) cousins. So far, she's the only girl in the bunch.

Here's Christopher (almost 3) hamming it up with Madeline. The picture is so incredibly sweet. I think I took about 10 pictures of him acting goofy before he did this. I love it!
I think this is probably the best photo from the day. Andrew (7 months) didn't really drink any beer, although he really tried!I figured taking pictures of three young kiddos would be challenging, but this is just comical.
And you would think the almost three year old would have been the most cooperative, but it was actually Andrew that was adorably cute in most of the shots. In the end, I think this one is the best. I love that it really pushes the pause button on Christopher's silly personality. I love Madeline's red Christmas socks that clash with her outfit. And I love Andrew's toothy grin. Three cute cousins!And now one with the grown ups. Believe me, this is a miracle shot. All three kids are (sort of) looking at the camera and the adults look good too.
And because I wanted to be Christopher's favorite aunt, I let him play my guitar. A lot. The little boy LOVES music and even got his own guitar from Santa. He also left with some of my picks. I think I should send him more...I have a sneaky suspicion that three year olds won't keep up with their picks.
I like downloading pictures from my camera! It brings back great memories! We miss you Jeff, Laura, Christopher and Andrew!
