The 2008 Bryant Christmas Party

We celebrated the Bryant Christmas on the 20th this year with Nick's extended family. It was the first time many of them had met Allie. It's so neat to see everyone's reaction to her and just makes me so proud that she's ours. She did great being passed around from person to person, although she did get a little cranky at times. After all, she is a baby, right?

She got to wear her Christmas dress again and looked so darn cute. Of course I wouldn't expect anything less from the little Princess!

All of the Bryant kids and grand kids were there with the exception of Jake, who is in Afghanistan, and Kiel, who is in Arizona but moving home in February, so they decided to take a picture. It will be so cool to see how people (especially the kids) grow and change as the years go by. Back row: Brian, Tony, Nick, Dan, Andrew, Carson, Casey, MyKella. Middle: Jimmy, Holli, Sheri, Megan, Allie, Laurie, Laney, Lindsey, Carissa, Logan. Front: Cameron, Shelley, Andrew, Cole, Loren, Maggie, Maura.

Allie also posed for a picture with her immediate cousins on the Bryant side. From left to right, Carson (16 months), Logan (8), Cole (16 months), Loren (15), Allie (3 weeks), Cameron (16 months).


Allie also got some snuggle time with Loren who is super-excited to finally have her first girl cousin on either side! Loren's going to have to teach Allie how to be stylish as she gets older because I have no clue.

We had a great time hanging out with everyone and can't wait for next year!
