Christmas at the Kranzs'

Every Christmas Eve Jim's entire family gets together for one huge party. His mom is one of six children and Jim has about thirteen first cousins. Add in everyone's spouses and kids and it's a pretty wild time. This year we let Tyler stay up late for the party and he had a blast! He warmed right up to everyone and wasn't shy about the big crowd at all. Aunt Sammy brought crafts for the kids and there was plenty of food to keep him occupied, including his favorite, jello squares. He was so excited to see his three cousins and played with them all night long. When it was time to open gifts Tyler received a set of 6 different trucks from Great Grandma Lucy and a DVD from his 2nd cousin, Megan. Every night since then, before he goes to bed, he has to kiss all the trucks night night. It's great to spend the evening with such a fun group of people and catch up on what everyone's been doing!
