Extra Special

What's extra special about Christmas for us is that we still get to go to Grandma's house... now great grandma.  We do this for both my mom and dad's side.  Unfortunately I don't have photos at my mom's side :(

Major :(

But this year was extra special at my Dad's side.  

Why?

B/C an engagement was announced!

Whoo Hooo!

and all 45 of us got together.

And crammed into one living room. Which I wouldn't have any other way.

And Great Grandma has carried the tradition of dressing cousins alike and giving them the same dolls.  In fact it was so cute that when Avery realized she got the same pants as Rylee she jumped up screaming to show her :)

And when she opened the same doll.  She ran over again :)

Then we did the usual and made them pose.

Look at that belly!

And with that I complete Christmas.  So now I must take down my tree.  This is a very sad day in the Dus household.  Now bring on the showers and flowers.
