First of Many Celebrations

Last weekend, we kicked off the Christmas season by celebrating with my family in New Hampshire.  Our time together is always short, but we always seem to make the best of it.  The girls had a wonderful time playing with their cousins and chatting with their aunts and uncles.  We had more fun watching them open gifts this year than any year I can remember.  More on the girls' gifts in another post, but here are some photos from our celebration:

At least someone in our family had a nice tree this year.... 

Joe and Mom, sharing some shrimp. 

Let the gift giving begin! 

I remember Meghan's first Christmas like it was yesterday - hard to believe she's a junior in high school now! 

Hit the jackpot with an Alex & Ani bracelet. 

Sparkly headbands! 

Guess she wanted this game! 

All blinged out! 

Meghan got a stunning ring from Emily! 

The girls!
