Puetz Christmas

This Saturday was our Puetz family Christmas. This is the first of a few family parties that we get to attend this month. Grandma Puetz is in her late 80's and is still SO spunky. She works 3 days a week, has many social outings to the Legion, and still gets out and dances her butt off at every single wedding reception. Grandma Puetz is the matriarch of the family that has now grown to 63 members. How this breaks down to grandchildren and great-grandchildren, I have no idea. Could I name them all? Not quite. Could Lee? I doubt it. But, it's a fun time for the adults and the kids have a BLAST!
Here is the Klemme section of the family. We are up to seventeen family members on our own.

Cousins and friends. So cute!
Love Taryn's Christmas outfit! (She'll be wearing it Christmas day too, so be prepared to see it in pictures again.)
Christmas hugs!

Taryn seems to enjoy opening her presents this year. That is two-fold though... It means that she wants to open all presents now. Regardless of what the nametag says. Grandma Puetz got Taryn an Etch-a-sketch and a Discovery Channel ViewMaster. She loves her new toys!

Taryn and Ryan, the two youngest!

Taryn loves babies. Usually in doll fashion, but she loves the real ones two. Sometimes when her daycare class is out at recess she spends her time peeking in at the baby room at the daycare. I wasn't sure how she would react when Taryn came in from playing to find me holding adorable little Cece. When I picked her up too, she loved touching Cece's head, patting her back and giving her kisses. Oh, and pointing at her and saying with WIDE eyes "BABY!"

Taryn and her new Etch-a-sketch... Thanks Grandma Puetz!
