Christmas with the Blaylocks, Part I

The Blaylocks finally arrived Friday night, the 22nd.  I don't really remember what we did that evening nor do I have pictures, but I can only assume that the cousins excitedly played together all evening!
The next day was church, and thankfully it was only one hour long! We got pictures after church of all the kids.  It is always a challenge to get a good one, but at least we got some, considering the 10-hour driving distance we live from each other. I don't remember much of what we did the rest of the day (probably wrap presents), but here are the pictures we took:

Aaliyah was upset and refused to let go of her puppy toy.  And Ian....I don't even know what to say about him! I'm so going to display this last picture at his wedding day, haha!

So as you can see they're all quite terrible pictures, but at the same time, still adorable!

I think this one turned out the best.  Or at least, not as terrible.

Silly face!

We got some of the girls.  If Aaliyah could have given up that toy, they would have turned out a little bit better.  We took a bunch, but these turned out the best:

A nice family picture of the Blaylocks:

Erik worked almost the entire Christmas time, so he wasn't in our picture, unfortunately:
