Christmas Eve at the Talamo's

Gammy's side of the family always gets together on Christmas Eve.
Little Dominic was looking particularly dapper for the occasion in his vest and shiny pants.

Uncle Charlie held the newest addition to the family - Baby Giada.

My son couldn't get enough of Aunt Sue's snack mix, of course.

He played Jingle Bells and busted out his moves for everyone.

Hmmm, Mommy's boys back at the snacks.

Nicholas loved a new tree to explore. He pointed out all the decorations (and re-arranged a bit, as needed).

Dillon and Nicholas were mischievous in a little secret hiding spot.

Trouble is brewing...

(yeah, this is about when the 10+ foot tree started rocking)

Nicholas pulled Gammy into his secret spot to play the "I Spy" game.
The boys entertained themselves making faces between the spindles (and swinging a few decorations around).
(notice again Nicholas has squeezed himself in an area that should be off limits)

Here's the cousin's kiddos (minus Collin and Max).

Yes, there were plenty of presents to go around, but at 9:00pm with an exhausted little one, we were making every attempt to make it through without a meltdown.
