Dahler Family Christmas

The past few years we have been trying to make our rounds to everyones house on or around Christmas.  Sometimes that is hard- but I am always glad we did it.  The hardest part is leaving one place to go to the next- but I would rather get to see EVERYONE and be fair (even though I hate that word!)  I try not to say something isn't fair because LIFE isn't fair and it is one of my sticking points.  

So anyway- Christmas morning we did at Glen and Mary's with Gina and Kevin.  After that we loaded up and went to my grandparents house.  Everyone was there- including MARK! I honestly don't know the last time I saw him- I fee like it has been at least a year and a half?  Like, before Tripp was born. He used to work out of the country as a contractor. 

Picture of Mark and his son Jace.  Of course I picked this one because they are looking at pictures of Jace's first trip to Disneyland!

Grampa and a squirrel he found in the yard

I mean Ollie  ;)

No Christmas would be complete without an irritating almost impossible puzzle!

The kids spent a lot of time in the basement playing with Jace's train!

While the "big kids" played Apples to Apples.

 Macy opening presents 

 HAHA It looks like Macy is saying "Dad, put your phone down!"

He woke up for Auntie Laurie

And NOW! The group cousin picture we take every year.  

Here is 2008

And 2010- our silly picture with Bubba teeth

 Poor Tyler, the ONLY boy

So, usually Auntie Laurie hooks us up with a ridiculous prop to take a picture with.  It's actually pretty funny ;)  I will admit I don't always want to play along but I have come around.  We were all disappointed when she said she didn't get anything this year because everyone poo-poos it.  WAAAH! So we improvised.  But it is back on next year!  (in past years we have worn masks, light up noses, mustache/glasses combos.)

Doesn't it look like we are missing teeth?

Brady and Auntie Sarah in Macy's antlers from school.  I loved those things and put them on him all the time.  LOL

 Family picture.  Macy will grow out of that face right?

 Next generation of cousins.  And Macy is the only girl!  Angela! You need to have another one!

Macy and my dad

Our two BRAVE cancer SURVIVORS!  And look at how much hair they have now!!

SO proud if them!

I think Sarah is saying "SERIOUSLY?  You picked there card and not mine?"

 The newly engaged couple, Jeanette and Scott

 Maybe Jace didn't want us to leave?

Brady packed up to go!  We left Macy and headed to Jack and Judy's to "represent" since Gina was in the hospital having her baby!!  That post tomorrow!
