Gift Cards

In addition to Karla's portraits, I got many other great pictures in Christmas cards this year.

*

This is my brother LeRoy, his wife Lori, and their kids, Nathan (age 12) and Katie (age 10). Don't you love the card? Lori makes these incredible homemade Christmas cards every year. I always look forward to seeing her latest creation!

Here is the entire family of my brother Jeff and his wife Dana. I will not attempt to name everyone! I'd never fit it all in and you'd never put the names to faces! Suffice it to say they are a very large, very handsome family!

This shot was taken on Thanksgiving.

I do not have a photo of Jeff and Dana's firstborn Justin and his wife Alisha and their cutie-pie Aiden. You can see them in the above picture, though: Justin is the one in back with a shaved head, holding Aiden. Alisha is the dark-haired beauty next to Justin.

These are the children of Jeff and Dana's second child Ashley and her husband Matt. These adorable little boys are big brother Gage and chubby-cheeked Garrett.

*

Note of interest: Ashley's husband Matt's sister Monica is married to Ashley's brother Jamison. Got that?

And here is Jeff and Dana's third child Jamison with his wife Monica and son Trenton. Jamison's name is Jamison Trent and they named their son Trenton James. Isn't that cute? Almost as cute as that adorable face!

Back to my sister Karla's family: This is her firstborn Jeremy with his wife Cami and their children, Jeremy-look-alike Jaren and 2-going-on-16 Analyce.

(Jaren really does look just like his daddy did when he was a baby!)

Brian and Karla's oldest daughter Genevieve, her husband Scott, and their little girls, big sister Brooke the actress and button-eyed Jaycee.

I love to celebrate the gift of family! Now that the holidays are over, it will be months between visits with many loved ones, but we always look forward to the next family event.

Maybe next time we'll also be with our Missouri brother Darryl and his family!
