Christmas Day 2012

 Every Christmas since I can remember, Kyle and I would wait at the top of the stairs while my parents got set up at the bottom of the stairs with our video camera and regular camera to capture the moment.  Well this year, Mike set up the camera at the bottom of the stairs to get Reece :)  Yay for a tradition being continued!

 This picture cracks me up of Reece

 Sofia and Kyle getting into their gifts from Santa.  Kyle got a lot of different types of whiskey and beer :)

 Opening Reece's presents

 Kyle, Sofia, me in my new Elvis shirt, and Mike after all the presents were opened

 At Aunt Liz's for the Christmas meal and more family gifts :)

 Super yummy Christmas dinner!  We had roast beef this year instead of turkey or ham, which was weird, but good.

 Great Nanny giving Reece her bottle

 Opening up Reece's gifts.  She got some really good stuff for Christmas and we play with them everyday!  It's such a blast!

 Lauren holding her "dog" Brady and Aunt Liz holding Reece :)

 James, Lauren, Aunt Liz, and Brady

 Sofia and Kyle

 These pictures are from Mike and I's camera.  This one is of Reece holding onto my dad's fingers and taking some steps.  The face she's making is her "oh yeah I'm doing it" face lol!

 At Aunt Liz's in the living room playing the Wii U.  The other guys that were at the house are good friends of James who didn't have anywhere to go for Christmas.

Christmas Eve '12

 Visiting Great Granny on Christmas Eve :)

 It started the week of Christmas, Reece loves pulling herself up and taking steps towards what she wants to get to.  So, she started at my dad, held onto his fingers, and walked over to Granny.

 Playing on the floor with Great Aunt Loueva.

 Mike and Reece doing their balancing act

 On Christmas Eve, we exchange our family gifts that we've gotten for each other so we're opening Reece's gift from Uncle Kyle.

 Reece playing with some of her Christmas presents Christmas Eve morning.  These are all out of order.

My Dad's 55th Birthday

 The brother's at the first official Bassi Family Christmas.  Mike, Joe, and Jim

 Camera timers are the best :)  Mike, me, Reece, Rich, Jan, Vince, Susie, Lexi, and Jim

 My dad's birthday is Dec 22nd, but since Mike had class and we were celebrating Christmas with the Bassi side, we celebrated my dad's birthday on the 23rd :)

 Reece and I wrote a letter to Santa letting him know we were in Kingwood for Christmas before we left our house

 My dad making funny faces and jingling bells making Reece laugh and talk :)

 Happy daddy daughter moment :)

 My mom and dad loving on Reece
