Christmas Travels

So, anyone who knows us, knows we have quite a bit of relatives. Dave came with numerous aunt, uncles, and even more cousins. Myself, I come with many siblings and a slew of "blended" family parts. Therefore, on holidays we make our rounds.

And this past Christmas, we started with Christmas Eve church service mid-day (with pieces and parts of my family) then off to Dave's sister's house for the annual Reynolds Christmas Eve festivities and present exchange. Here's a funny picture of Julia with one of her cousins at Betsy's.

Next, we spent Christmas morning at our house for Julia's first Christmas morning. Dave was sick, so, the morning start was slow. We finally arrived at my mom's for the Christmas gift exchange and, of course, Christmas dinner (which is always at noon). This year we were pretty late. Here's Julia with one of her presents there.

And, since we still have family we did not see yet, we got together with my dad's side of the family the day after Christmas at Kristy's place. We did our gift exchange and the kiddies did theirs. Here is Julia with her favorite part of Christmas... the wrapping paper. She really wanted to eat it and her mommy would not let her do that.

If I have time, I'll try to post some more pictures from our travels with people other than Julia in them. This also may not happen, so don't worry if you don't get any group shots of the festivities and gift exchanges.
