Christmas- almost

The Nichols clan descided to celebrate Christmas rather early this year. We all gathered at Van and Kathy's this year and ate and opened presents. We all had a blast, especially the kiddos. I took a bunch of pictures but here are a few...
My immediate family....

Every year the cousins take a stairstep pictre and the boys fight over who is the tallest. We used to be in order by age but now it is all rearranged. (Don't ask about the leg- I am not quite sure why that got started but now we do it every year. )

Here we are trying to get a picture of all the great-grandchildren (easier said than done). I didn't get a good one. :( Kathy saved all of her kiddos toys from when they were little. Here are the kids playing with Ninja Turtles.

Abby had a blast with all of the kids. She and Madison are close in age and they had a ton of fun laying tea party and ring around the rosie. Abby and Ethan thought wrestling was quite fun.
