Christmas Visits

I have been enjoying being home, though most days I have to do some work. I even got my first (and not the last) job rejection yesterday. Merry Christmas. (Seriously it was nice to be told - some don't even bother - but they could have waited!) Still it is nice to be with family. Even though my family is officially nuts. (Love them!)

The past weekend we have been doing the family visits. Saturday we went to see my aunt, uncle and cousins, Emma and Andrew, and Emma's son, who is very cute. On Sunday we went to see My Aunt Shirley and Uncle Terry who are like God parents I guess (though I was never christened).

Then we stopped by my Aunty Sue and Uncle Trevor's (probably my favorite aunt and uncle) for a chat and glass of wine. They had taken some of my Uncle Roy's Christmas decorations when he passed away earlier this year, much to my Uncles despair. My Aunty Ann (Roy's wife) always when crazy as Christmas. My Aunt Sue loves them! They definitely cover all tastes.

Some were nice. But honestly the multiple decapitated Santa heads freaked me out a bit. Then we found out you can put batteries in them. Though I was a little curious, thankfully they didn't have the right size batteries. Because I think if the eyes lit up, I would have been out of there so fast!

 Last night some more cousins came around, and Paul and fiancee brought their little baby around! Oliver is only 7 weeks old and was very cute. And then they showed the Santa suit. Adorable! And he snores! For some reason I didn't think babies snored but he sounds like a kitten purring! So cute!

 Happily he woke up on his own. (Me and Marie were getting impatient waiting!)

Waking up in a new place

Marie gave him his bottle (after a little bit a panic - he is so small and wriggly!)

"Where's my food?)

Happy now.

Little bit of post dinner dancing.

I did get a snuggle. He is so sweet. But once Mom got a hold of him, no one else was going to get a look in. There were a few hints about grandkids, where I had to change the conversation quickly. He was cute but he did start crying for a while. And then they were talking about the mount of sleep they were getting. Not ready for that!

More dancing with his mom, Jen and my dad.

Mom very happy with an equally happy sleeping Oliver.

It was nice to catch up with them as it's been long time since I have seen most of my cousins. But my time at home is going too quickly. :-(
