Christmas in Dixie...

After a hectic couple of days at the airport I finally made it down south for Christmas... Had such a great time with the fam and the little ones.  Nothing to exciting went on this Christmas as crazy as Thanksgiving was.  However there were a few accomplishments to list, and in no particular order:

1. We succesfully convinced the Aussies to come down to florida in 2011 for our huge family reunion...with a bit of a few concerns I think everyone is all on board. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity since our famiy is split right down the atlantic to have everyone all together one last time before it gets too late :)....

2. I succesfully did all my shopping on Dec 24th for the whole family in one day, in the snow I might add.  Which I am very proud of.

3.  I also successfully surprised my aunts and uncles with a gift from their favorite beloved nephew (since we are only doing presents for the kiddos, I thought it would be fun to surprise them, not to mention they've all been good boys and girls this year) However knowing them they will probably save all of their gift certificates until next year, wrap them all up and give them to me to return the favor... cunning as they are.

4. I managed to give all the kids a great christmas present in return giving me the label as coolest cousin amongst the older ones... sorry Aussie cuzzies... you are now all forgotten haha....

5. I succesfully managed to stay awake for the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular ( I was planning on catching some shut eye during the performance but I stayed awake, for you mother :) but I will say, as much as I thoroughly enjoyed the performance (slight bit of sarcasm) please lets gets Mavs tickets next year instead...

Some pics that I managed to capture on my new phone from the holidays that I dont think any of the oldes have... enjoy! Off to Vegas on Thursday morn!


Not even half of the little ones running around...
