Christmas at Grandma Alma's






Yes, I know the matchy matchy thing is a bit much but hey I am the mommy and I get to choose what they wear right now and I just love when they match! I didn't get a good shot of all three of them so I might be doing a bribery photo shoot soon with some sort of treats on hand but hey these ones just might do.
Every year we celebrate Christmas at my Grandma Alma's and Aunt Pam's house. This year we celebrated after Christmas on Saturday the 27th. It was a nice visit. The kids really enjoyed playing with their cousins and each child will have a playmate. I don't know how it worked out but my cousin Greg and his wife Mai Leigh had a girl then a few months later I had Nathan, then a few years later came their son Jackson, then a few months after that came Laura then a few years later came Noah and a few months after that came Addison. So the family get togethers will be fun with all six of them.
Uncle Ted (my mom's brother) dresses up as Santa and surprises the kids. I was wondering how long this was going to last before they caught on and a couple of days ago I got my answer. Out of the blue Nathan says, "I know who Santa was at Grandma Alma's, it was Uncle Ted!" I ask how do you know that? Nathan says "because I recognize his voice, I know it was him" we talked some more and he didn't seem bothered at all by it, more proud of himself that he figured it out and didn't even go there about the "real" Santa. So I guess I dodged a bullet, at least for now.
