Merry Christmas!

We had a WONDERFUL Christmas celebration (well, we had many), and we want to thank everyone and wish you a Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

-The Beach Family

Christmas night Nannie had her family over, and we had so much fun playing with Daddy’s cousins. We even worked together to build up our Mindcraft boards!

Emily got a fun guitar lesson from cousin Bobby!

There was so much great food, but even better desserts!

The day after Christmas was filled with playing a lot of family games and checking out our loot. We loved playing cards together!

Sorry Grandpa… you will never win Spit against Daddy… no matter how hard you try!

Since Emily’s new years resolution is to wipe herself ALL the time, it was time for Nannie to pull out the “Jelly on the plate” wiping lesson that Daddy & Aunt Bridget said they got when they were kids…

First you get the right amount of paper and wrap it around your hand, instead of balling it up…

The a little jelly goes on the plate… (You can guess what that represents…)

Look what happens when you just mess it all around…

EEWWW!

When you do it the right way, it’s nice and clean!

I have to do WHAT?!?!?!? Forget it…

When our cousin Liam arrived, we gave him all his gifts, and while he loved Grandpa’s train, I think he loved his train tunnel from Ben the best…

 

Abby and Emily got princess tattoos from Daddy’s cousin, Patty on Christmas, so we all sported our tattoos together with Uncle Kevin!

When we finally made it home with the car packed to the top, Ben LOVED learning to ride his Thomas bike. He has some more learning to do, he LOVES it!

Merry Christmas everyone!
