A mish mash of Christmas photo fun

Abigail and the "Richardson" cousins waiting for breakfast. On the day after Christmas, we hang out together all day, starting with a nice home cooked breakfast.
Abigail at our house on Christmas morning..modeling her new furry boots.
My nephew.....he did not end up in any gift openings photos with the girls for some reason....
Our girls....enjoying their Christmas rawhides
Abgail (wearing AL pants), Emma (wearing TN pants) and Kayla(wearing GA pants)..thanks to Granny's sewing:)
Abigail opening an I-pod....one of her favorite Christmas gifts.
STOCKING TIME...we always open stockings on Christmas eve. Then Abigail gets to open a box containing her special pj's. This year she got monkey pajamas and monkey slippers...which she is wearing in the I-pod photo.
Abigail and her "Aquila" cousins with Grammy on Christmas Eve. We go there for lunch and hang out all afternoon until they all get ready and leave for church, usually between 4 and 6 p.m.
the HATED musical cat--the male Aquila's hate this cat...and it's NO wonder...it sings or actually 'meows' the song "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" but it is off key & QUITE annoying
This is Abigail's tree that she puts up and decorates in her room. The Rudolph train is always under that tree and is quite cute.

This is our family tree. We put it in the dining room after removing both 'leafs' from our dining table. Each year we add at least one ornament that is dated and represents something special about that year (trip, hobby, event, or even a family photo).

Your nephew 'D' looks SO different. Looks like he favors his sister 'K'.

K is her daddy made over. E looks like her mom and D is a mix of both parents. He has grown up a lot! They all have.
