or, December 27th.
or, Christmas with Cari's side of the family...late because we were waiting on sister and bro-in-law to get into town.
Pick your favorite title...
At any rate, it (Christmas celebrations) happened again yesterday.
Santa made an appearance for a long awaited Charlie (my brand new niece) to arrive.
We tried (in vain) to get a good picture of a squirming Rigg...
We played dress-up and pose with the baby and my mothers beautifully wrapped Christmas presents.
A family pic of my sis and brother and niece.
My mom with her grand kids... Rigg was enjoying Charlie's baby feet.
And yes... I really am that big...3 weeks people!

Love the pictures! Charlie is precious in the middle of the gifts~ and yes, your mom wraps beautifully. Guess that comes with being married to Santa. Wish I could "borrow" your dad for pictures. Mall Santa pics with my grandson~ STINK. lol
Merry Christmas to you and your family! You look fantastic! Can't wait to "meet" Mr. Ryder! I was telling Jeremy the other night that I want to make the trip to Indiana to come see you guys...one day we will actually meet face to face. :) Love to you all!
You look lovely! And your mom is quite the wrapper - we can't have bows on presents in our house unless we want the cat to eat them. Sigh. No pretty presents for us. I will enjoy yours by proxy, though.
charlie is beautiful! your belly is adorable!! love the pic of you on the floor--so cute!! how did you get up off the floor...bet that was a feat?! can't wait to see ryder (and how in love rigg will be with him!)...so glad you made such precious Christmas memories! happy new year!!

Cari,
I've been mearning to post. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the presents. All matchy and beautiful and festive. Love it. I might steal that idea. Someday... when I am organized enough to remember to shop for really cool color coordinated wrapping paper. PS. I can't get J to sit still for a picture to save her life. I was thinking about getting her 2 year old pics taken. But then I thought.. how the heck would the Photog get her sit down and pose? Hope you have an awesome New year and BTW - you look stinkin fabulous with 3 weeks left to go! Thanks for posting the cute pics. Peace sister! - jen
