Annual grab bag

The last grab bag on Benner St was a huge success.  We had so much fun and won lots of crappy stuff, lol!  I laughed so hard and just really enjoyed every second of it. 
Just a few pics I got, not too many but I laugh so hard when I see them. 
Frank got some white pants...
 Granny had all her kids pics hanging in the (then) dining room, when she lived there.  Mary found them in the basement while packing everything up so all the pics were included this year.  And Sue was the first to get one....DEWEY!!!!!
 HAHHAAHH!
 Dan got Aunt Janet. 
 LOL, a giant whoopee cushion, WINNING!
 Jon got Uncle Frank.
 this guy...
 Aunt Janet was getting passed around.
Nice one Mags and Frank with a PBA card. 
 Danny, Mya and Uncle Pete
 Archie picked one for his mama.
 Another PBA card, SCORE!
 Silly string, fun.
 LOL!
 Dewey got some jewels that he passed over to Ash. 
All in all it was a great time.  Next year someone else will have to host it.

Christmas at the Beas

After dinner and my parents, we headed out to PA to Mimi and Poppy's for dessert.  We love going here cause there are so many kids that we literally walk in and the girls disappear to play with all of their cousins.  They all play so nice together and it's just so amazing to see the love that they have for one another.  The older ones never leave the littles out and the littles look up to the older ones so much.  Just warms my heart to see how amazingly blessed we are with family. 
But first, how stinkin cute are these guys?!!! 
These 2 cuties.

Ok, if you girls smile nice for pics, you can have presents!  WELL DONE!
Family, no one can break us!  LOVE these people with my whole heart.
Mimi and her grand daughters.  Matching so perfectly!  Mimi hooked all the girls up with these adorable coordinated dressed and coordinated her own outfit too, LOVE it!
OMG I can feel the love.  SO SO SWEET!
Yes, they do just keep getting better don't they?!
Poppy and his boys!  So funny, Mimi has her girls and Poppy has his boys!  
With all of the presents going around, it's always so nice to stop and remember what this day is all about.  Time to sing Happy Birthday to Jesus!  LOVE this tradition they do and so happy to be a part of it.
Thanking Mimi for all of her amazing gifts.
Next up was Ash and DAMN this is blurry but oh so stinkin cute.
Uncle Jimmy and his adorable nieces before he laced them up too. 
Went in age order and had them close their eyes, was so freaking cute!
In love with her new sparkly jacket!
Soso's up next!!!!
HEYYYYYYYYYY
Ava helping My closer her eyes, lol!
And my freaking camera looses battery, so typical!  LOL!  So next pics are all phone pics. 
I can't take the love of this big huddle hug with Uncle Jimmy.  *melt*
 SO MUCH LOVE!
 shot shot shot shottttt
 Ash just loves Auntie Jen so much. 
 I love that every year, Gigi gets all of her grand kids and great grand kids coordinating pj's and they take a pic all together.  Such a sweet tradition.  Twins all cozy, comfy in theirs...
 Mya literally jumped in for a pic, little ham.
 John is CONSTANTLY trying to get love from Mya.  She could be so stingy and is always with him.  I think she likes the game though, cause he's hysterical at how he tries.  Well.....looks like he got her!!!!
 LOVE!
 Group shot!  Such a big, loving family, LOVE THEM!
 Silly faces....
 The guys with Ash. 
 And how could we not end a night with a dance party at Mimi's?  Taylor Swift on blast!!!



 Uncle Jimmy's always good for tossing the girlies on his shoulders!

Such an amazing way to close out Christmas night.  We had a blast!!!!  xoxo

Christmas at Nona and Dewey's

Once we had breakfast and the girls got to enjoy their gifts for a little bit, we headed over to my parents for presents and dinner.  My Nona has been coming up the past few years to celebrate Christmas with us, which is so nice!  The girls really love seeing her (so do we of course) and it's nice to be able to share this holiday with her. 
The girlies.
Huge hugs for Uncle Pete, LOVE!
Seriously can't take these 2.  They are constantly disappearing and running up to my parents room to jump on the bed, or just be silly.  CRACKS ME UP!
silly faces....

Who can guess who this is?
LOL!  Almost passed out with his purple stache.
The way she was sitting was killing me.  Don't mind her outfit.  When she gets things that she likes, she immediately has to put them on.  Hence the outfit changes almost every pic!  This was so layered, had me dying!  A purple tutu dress, blue tutu, leggings and her vest.  Had me dying.
lol
Mags and Vlad were there too.  Love you guys.
These 2.
awwwwww
BFF's
Titi and her girl
Nona Nona with 2 of her great grand children, we were still trying to persuade Ava to get in! 
Smile Nona Nona! HAHA
Sorry for the overload of almost same pic, I just can't take how many good ones we got!
There's Ava!!!!
LOVE
My mom dukes with her mom dukes and Pete, lol
I wish this pic came out clear.
They look like a little family here, lol
Nona with some of her grand kids.

Always gotta be a goof.
Who is this guy?
With my love.
We had so much fun!  Dinner was amazing and it was just so nice to all be together.  I love my family!
