Zinser Christmas

 Cheers to another Zinser Christmas (with sparkling grape juice of course!).  It is always fun to go "home" to where you grew up. You can tell that the kids are growing up because everyone can sit and watch each other open gifts without getting too excited.  

 Grandma and Papa with their little ones.  All of the kids love being together.

 The whole Zinser Clan.

After we opened gifts we headed to Xavier University to see "Amahl and the Night Visitors."  This play/musical/opera has become part of our Zinser holiday tradition.  Its a beautiful story about the true meaning of Christmas.  My Dad states that he's probably seen the show 30+ times and I bet my sister and I have seen it over 15 times.  Passing on family traditions to the next generation is great.  

 The annual cousin photo on the steps by their stockings.  Obviously, we snap all the group photos before we start opening gifts.  Its not bribery, its just encouraging them to take a good photo!  Ha!

Emma decorates an ornament each year for her grandparents.  Here is the 2015 edition!

Quite possibly my favorite picture this holiday.
