all the "little cousins"
The Story: Each Christmas Eve the guys have some sort of tournament in the morning. For the past 2 years it has been a golf tournament...the two sides of the family pitted against each other. Of course my hubby LOVES to place bets on everything and anything and sadly-he lost! So my brothers and Vinny had to jump into the lake as the result to losing the bet! FREEZING!!! Here they are in the WARM house getting ready to run down (and if you have been to our lake lots, you know it is a pretty long run down and up!)
The Run Down...at least they are smiling!
Jumping in...where is Dan going?
Warming up in the hot tub after the lake
All the guys in the pic below were the winners of the tournament!

Kidding around with Uncle Dan
Nick was so excited to get hiking boots from Grandma and Grandpa. He and Vinny go on a lot of hikes and he had outgrown his old pair.
Nick quickly organized all of his loot, and took it to a place where there was less chaos!
This picture of the floor just amazes me-the amount of gifts!
A re-gift from last year. This was a picture of Vinny that we had hung at his 40th surprise party and now it is making the rounds each year at the Christmas gift exchange!
And here we have "Law and Order" our mom's nicknames!

G was so happy to be with her Auntie Toni
The kids opened gifts first since they got a present from EVERYONE! All the kids were so blessed with the amount of gifts and thoughtfulness from everyone!

A funny gift to my dad before he opened his real gift!
