First Christmas as "A" Crandall
This is my first year as a Crandall attending the Crandall family Christmas. With over 6 months of marriage under my belt it was time for my first big family holiday.
The family meals were undertaken with much planning and preparation from Jan and went off with out a hitch. Amazing how fast you can feed 14(+1) hungry people! We ate like royalty!
And when we were done eating Jan had activities (and more eating) for the kids.
The nieces were adorable. I love being an Aunt. (and of course I love the nephews too :)
When Christmas morning finally came, everything was actually very orderly and I enjoyed the expectant children's faces.
For only taking 2 shots, this family photo of the Denver Crandall's turned out quite well.
It is hard to take pictures of people that they themselves like but I thought this snuggle between "Mimi" and "Papa" was just perfect. What great examples of a loving relationship.
And finally, a moment to ourselves for a Christmas kiss. More pictures to come. I took tons.

Beautiful pictures, Alissa. I'm glad we have such a talented photographer in the family. We loved having you around for the week to help fill up our house!
