Our cousin Ben Rowe lives in Modesto. And, our cousin Caroline, her husband Jason, and their new baby Annie came to Modesto from Orem, Utah for Christmas.
Our cousins Melissa and Sarah Stevenson also flew in from Washington, D.C.
Here are some photos of the fun. (Disclaimer: Mom and Dad are currently building a new home and are living at Grandma Rowe's. So, the decor in some of these photos is a little crazy.)
Aiden meets cousin Annie...
Aiden and Uncle Eric...
Wii tournaments, contests, and ego-boosting high scores...

The fun of trying to get a photo of all of the Rowe grandkids...believe it or not, this is one of the best ones. Aiden, Annie, Jack, and Tyler (ages 3 months to 20 months)....
Mom with her ornament from the ornament exchange...
Christmas morning with three little boys was a lot of fun. Santa, Papa, Nana, and Aunt Jen got a little out of control with presents. Aiden even had to take a nap half way through.
Tyler with his Santa presents...
Aiden with his Santa presents...
Jack with his Santa presents (note the Thomas the Tank Engine theme)...
Jack and Aunt Jen (the Thomas pjs went on as soon as they came out of the box and he was enticed to open more packages to see if there was a "choo choo" or "chocolate" inside)...
Mom and the famous Christmas morning cinnamon rolls...a family tradition after opening gifts...
Aunt Jen gave the boys 2 different matching shirts and Nana came through with the pants. However, the photo taking experience proved to be difficult.
Aiden and Jack...
Feel the love...Aiden, Tyler, and Jack...
With all of the presents unwrapped, the tree was much more accessible for Aiden and Jack..."oohhh lights..."
And, "lights..."
Nana celebrates her 60th birthday on January 1st; so, we celebrated with chicken enchiladas and Sheree's triple tremendous cupcakes... (I don't know why this is now underlined and showing up as a link.)
All three boys playing with some of the new toys...Aiden, Tyler, and Jack...
Grandma celebrated her 91st birthday on December 27th...

I love all the pictures. I'm sad we missed the annual Bjarnason/Rowe dinner. We look forward to that each Christmas. Looks like your Christmas was filled with lots of love and laughing (the best kind)!
It was so fun to see you! I love it when all your brothers and "sisters" are at your house for Christmas too! These pictures make me so happy thinking of Christmas.
