We started Christmas Day at home …
Cate was excited, especially about this toddler camera. And Ben, well, he just hung out with us, and his stocking, which was about his size …
Then we headed next door to Nana and Papaw’s house [Yes, Greg’s grandparents are our neighbors!] where all 28 Taylors [meaning the ones from Nana and Papaw’s branch of the family tree] gathered together.
Included in the 28 were three babies celebrating their first Christmas. OK, so, maybe celebrating is a stretch, especially for mine, who slept most of the time, including during our photo shoot …
From left, that’s Emaline (3 months), Ben (1 month) and Evelyn (8 1/2 months). Ben and Evelyn are first cousins and Emaline is their second cousin.
And here is one of my favorite shots from the day …
That’s Ben sleeping comfortably in the arms of his great-grandma. The warmth of the room caused him to lose his cute Christmas attire. Hey, it’s better than sweating. Although Nana still wanted to cover him in a blanket!
Conveniently, we walked back to our house for a smaller Christmas party with Greg’s immediate family and their families.
John got the party started by giving the kids the gifts from him and Christine. We had a good time exchanging presents, eating and playing the Name Game.
There are many more Christmas photos in a Facebook album. Go look at them there, if you wish.
