Cousin's Christmas

We celebrated Cousin's Christmas with the Hall side of the family last weekend. Four generations of Hall's, yes Uncle Frank 4 generations!!! When we first moved to California we spent Christmas Eve every year at my Aunt Barbara's and with Uncle Bob and Aunti Gin's families. As the second generation began to marry off and have families of their own (about 17 years ago) this tradition was changed to a Cousin's Christmas that is celebrated a week or two before Christmas and we rotate between Escalon and Merced. We draw names with all the 18 and unders and they each open a gift from the other side of the family. Dawn, Nick, and kids, we miss you every year, but thank you for hosting the first Cousin's Christmas at your house forever ago. Jordan we missed you for the first time this year also. It's a great night to celebrate our family together!!!

Garrett wanted to help everyone open their presents.
Openning Gannon's - as you can see he really doesn't care!

One of the cutest packages!

Most of the kids - minus Garrett
