We went up to Washington to visit for Christmas this year, to spend time with my side of the family. Baby H practicing her walking skills.
Some of Mark's Famous Amazing, Scrumptious {Apple} Pies. We ate a Delicious Christmas Dinner together.
Our little Family sang "Silent Night" for the Family Talent Show. We had a lot of fun! :) {I also sang a Duet "Mary's Lullaby" with my Mom.} :) We enjoyed spending time with family for Christmas. It was a lovely visit.
The kids LOVED spending time with their cousins. They also enjoyed having Christmas up in Washington.
Underneath the stairs at my parents house, is a Secret Playhouse that the kids and their cousins love playing in. I used to love playing in there when I was a child, and making up games, and make believe worlds; with my siblings. It was the most exciting place in the house. It's fun seeing Baby H playing with her siblings and cousins in the Playhouse. We had a wonderful time talking with my youngest brother Joe, (who is on his mission). My 2nd to youngest brother Tom, recently came home from his mission. So we were all there together to speak with Joe. It was fun speaking with him.
Baby H played the piano softly, and created beautiful music through her tender strokes of the keys. It's wonderful watching her play on the piano that I learned on. There is something angelic about watching a baby play the piano. I love that she already has a passion for music.
Our Nephew (& Cousin) C celebrated his 4th Birthday. All of the cousins enjoyed being there with him for his Special Birthday. His favorite color is green, so that was the color of his cupcakes.
It was fun watching our Family open presents that we had made for them. Baby H. was very interested in her newborn cousin S. They are going to be good buddies.
The kids really enjoyed spending time with their Cousins. My brother in law {Celestia's husband}, Fatih's sister Feyza came all the way from Turkey to visit, and she spent Christmas with us. It was so much fun to meet her and she is an amazing artist! Auntie Angela holding Newborn Baby S, (My brother Dan and Jolie's baby). We had a Fabulous Christmas Vacation! :)
