Getting the kids together for pics can be brutal. We tell them if they don't cooperate they don't open their presents--sounds simple right? HA!! Out of 8 cousins (there's actually 12 of us on my Dad's side), 4 of us were there with our kids. There was a 10 yr old, 3 eight year olds, a six yr old, 2 five yr olds & a four yr old.....that's crazy enough!!
The 3 crazy eight year olds.

Gianna scored "pix-os". She was thrilled. Mommy was not (think small tiny little balls bouncing all over the house) but I'm making the most of it.
Marissa scored a pretty this purse & matching wallet, a necklace & lip gloss. She's in full blown "tween" mode!!
The cousins. My sister Maria, my cousin Carmela & her sister Maria & me. Yes they are both Maria's. Believe it or not on my Dad's side there are 6 Maria's!! It was real fun at family get togethers figuring out which Maria the parents were calling.
After we took this pic we bolted out. The snow was coming down non stop & we wanted to get home while we could. Somehow I had the honor of driving home. I haven't driven in that kind of weather in ages! By the time I got home my stomach was in knots from being tense the whole ride home but the girls were happy & we got to relax the rest of the night.
