They're Here, They're Here!!!




All my family has arrived home for Christmas.  My eldest and her husband brought the newest little grandbaby, known affectionately as Bumbus.  The older cousins are quite enthralled with the baby, the one they don't get to see very often.


Grandpa is happy to show off Bumbus for the camera....


....and Alex is delighted that she got to hold her, all by herself!



This is Olivia.  She wasn't all that taken with the new cousin.  She wanted to read Mommy's Tote
and play with the dry erase pen and notebook....


.....and this is Abby, Olivia's twin sister,  who was very upset that Olivia grabbed Mommy's Tote first and that she wasn't getting to play with the dry erase pen and the notebook.  She, like all of us, really, doesn't enjoy taking turns.  But she did a good job waiting anyway, even though is was hard.


And this is Emma, big sister to Olivia and Abby.  She is very, very happy right now because she gets to play with  her cousin Alex.  They LOVE to play together and really enjoy the few visits they share each year.  Emma looks more and more like her beautiful mommy, Kellie, every day!


This is Ian.  He is not all that taken with babies.  He is not all that taken with girl cousins, either.  He IS very taken with the car and trailer the Bunny Family have that lives at Gramma Gramma's house.  He spends most of his time on the floor, driving the car and trailer or playing with the wooden train.  Girls?  Um, not so much.

Gramma Gramma is a very happy, very lucky lady.

Merry Christmas, one and all!

Your happiness oozes from your post. You certainly have a house full. They are beautiful grand children and an ever so cute bumbus. Love that name. Our eldest and husband have arrived from Sydney. They have decided not to have children so far and I'm afraid time is running out for them. Carol was head hunted by the biggest and best architect firm in Australia. She has been offered a dream job just today. She is walking around with a grin from ear to ear. We Skyped the other 3 and half in LA so I guess we were all together for a short time. Luckily they have found some friends in LA and they are having Christmas with them so they won't be too homesick.
