I realize it’s been over a week since I last posted here … and more that a couple weeks since doing a Sunday Show and Tell. I’d blame it all on the holidays, but truth be told … Hubby & I just started our Christmas shopping over the past week.
And now … here it is, the week of Christmas. Yikes. And double Yikes!
Anyway, today I wanna share with you a photo from last year‘s Christmas with my Dad’s side of the family. It’s been years since more than two or three of our families have gotten together for the holidays. Which is weird, because growing up I found myself either at one of my Dad’s siblings’ home on Christmas or everyone was at our house.
Last year, we managed to get all of my Dad’s siblings together at my Aunt’s house. Not all of the cousins were there, but I do have to say … getting six out of eleven of us there is nothing short of a Christmas miracle.
So anyway … the picture I’m sharing today is a group shot of all the cousins that were present. We wanted to get a picture with our “Nanay.” (Filipino for “Mom,” but us cousins have always called our Grandmother that, instead of “Lola” – which is Filipino for “Grandma. Yes, we’re weird.) Except of course … being the crazy ones that we were, we had to make it fun. And thus ….
Here we are, the Pointer Cousins … doing our rendition of “Jump (for My Love)”.
And just because I love watching Hu.gh Grant shake is booty … here’s an extra bonus clip from my favorite movie (probably of all times), “Love, Actually”
If I don’t get a chance to post before the madness, which in our family begins on Christmas Eve … I hope that every single one of you have an incredible Holiday. May the warmth of family and friends this holiday season carry over into 2009!
Happy Festivus and Merry Chrismahanukwanzakah to you all!

Now, make sure you head over to Mel’s and check out the rest of the Show and Tell items for the week!!
That’s such a great photo! Have fabulous holidays!
What a fun picture!
I was wondering when you’d post up a new entry. It was weird checking your site but nothing getting updated.
I hope all is going well with you… miss you guys much : )
How many times did you have to try it before you got a photo of everyone in the air at the same time?
I love the hair flying all over the place!
Great photo! I am grinning from ear to ear just looking at it! Happy holidays to you too!
Ok – that photo looks like it belongs in a magazine then on a wall, blown up and matted in a gorgeous frame!
Thanks for a smile and the motiation to GET OUR PHOTO DONE THIS YEAR!
I love it! I have one of those of some friends on the beach in black & white – we always joke it woyuld be our album cover if we were a band!
I absolutely love the photo of your cousins with you Nanay! Made me smile 🙂 Happy Holidays.
Can your family adopt me because you’re looking like you’re having so much more fun than mine!
And I was just about to watch Love, Actually — I’ll think of you now when I do!
XOOXO — I’m thinking of you this holiday Emily — I hope you have a wonderful, peaceful, loving one with your Hiro.
Love,
Pam
Wow. That is a fantastic picture. I love it.
Super cute! I call my MIL Nanay because it’s just too weird to call her Mom. We all call Lola, Lola. 🙂 Hub’s mom calls her mom “Nay,” and it’s very cute.
awwwww love the family pic–and the way it looks like your Gram is about to jump!
And yes, THIS movie rules.
What a fun picture! Adorable!
And as you know, that is one of my favorite movies, too, and that is also one of my favorite scenes from that movie…
what a fabulous photograph!! We should all have at least one such photograph in the family album!
Merry Christmas!
