On Monday, December 21 all five of us met in Riverside, loaded everything (including the dog) in the Escape, and drove up to Bakersfield to spend two days celebrating Christmas with grandma and the Bennett family.
Melissa and I decided that we would make sugar cookies with Grandma on Tuesday morning! We had so much fun! Grandma was a crack up as she decorated the cookies.
All the counsin made it this year (Matt, Grant, Sandy, Carolyn, Jennifer, and Melissa) along with our spouses and the two second counsins (Ally and Aiden).
Two year old Ally was a crack-up and we enjoyed each other. We talked and pointed our way all the way through Grandma's village and played with anything else that I could find that was kid-friendly.
Without fail, Grandma filled all of our cans with goodies. Every year the picture of us with our cans grows--this year David (Carolyn's husband) had a can for the first time!
After a wild present-opening session with 22 people in the room, this picture was taken! Look closely to see Reese sleeping soundly under the presents and wrapping paper. She did very well with all the noise and commotion. She reveled in the attention!
