We celebrated Christmas in July at Jim's parents' home. Jim's immediate and some extended family were able to attend. We got a nice Saturday afternoon for the event, so lots of time was spent outside enjoying the company and weather.
Drew and Bree enjoyed seeing their immediate cousins, but also got the treat of hanging out with Gabrielle and Charlie, who are extended cousins. If I calculated properly, they are actually second cousins once removed. (My grandma is a genealogy buff, so I know all those rules.) At any rate, Charlie is just three months older than Drew and Bree, so they had a grand time together!
And, to top if off, the kids all received Christmas presents! Drew got a Thomas train, a flashlight dump truck and sand toys. Bree got a purse and a Dora (her favorite) mini see and say. Of course, that added to the fun!
The best part of having Christmas in July is the weather!

And a little unwanted help from Drew
Say cheese!
A hug from cousin Charlie - so sweet!
Dad and Drew - all smiles
Jim with an energetic bunch
Time for presents!

What a fun idea! I wish my family would do that...
I just want to squeeze your kiddos! Their smiles make me smile every time that I see them!
