All Together At Last: A Very Vaisey Vacation Part 1

Steve & Rebekah and Co. had a flight cancelation on the way to their sunny destination(coming from their sunny home, go fig).

It was Christmas Eve and they were to wake up Christmas morning in a hotel. Uncool.

But alas, Christmas afternoon flew them to us and we were all together again at last. I think my heart skipped a beat when I saw their jet lagged, bloodshot eyed faces.

And then it was cousin love at long lost sight.

So, the festivities began at sundown. Matching Christmas jammies and all.

The down-the-stairs-stampede did not go without incident:

Bop Bop and Baba Juje, the ones who made it all poss (*tear wipe) Aren't they sweet?:

Sime Sime's loot...approx.. one gabazillion Cars:

Leen Pock and ZuZu become proud new parents of Bitty Twins:

The first of many stunts these blood-related weasels performed:

Then it was off to the kitchen with the women folk to prepare the Christmas night's feast:

Then the of-age crowd stayed up till 2 am just to make sure we started the week off right.

And so ended a greatly weird but equally enjoyable Christmas day experience.

Stay tuned, more to come.

But I promise I will try to make it quick and relatively painless.
