Christmas in review

Well, it seems like life has been crazy but I guess thats what happens for us around the holidays!

We had an amazing Christmas here in MI. Snow, family and food! My brother Herb, and sister-in-law, Melissa, decided last minute to come up from Florida with their 3 children and 2 of their nieces and I am so happy they did! We had several family events starting the weekend before Christmas. On sat we had lunch at my brothers house (Mike and Myra) with my moms side of the family - well some of them- I wish I had picture to post but I of course forgot my camera. It is always fun to see all of my boy cousins. They all towered over me in the pictures that we had to pose for!
Then on Sunday we went to my dads house for more food.

This is all of the kids at my Dads house that afternoon. Caitlyn, Spencer, Lauren, Kelsey, Alyssa, sydney, Ben, Olivia and my little brother Kyle!
On christmas eve we went to Chris' moms house and spent some time with his family there but cut out early to get home to bed for the big day!
On Christmas day we woke up around 7 (thats late for my babies) and opened our gifts at home and then headed to Grammys for brunch and more presents. This is about the only picture I have of me so please pay no attention to my apperance!


After Grammys we went to Mandys house (chris' sister) to visit with her and papa and cindy and of course open more gifts! Anything Star Wars will put a smile on that cute little face! We have been so blessed with such a generous, loving and FUN family and we are so grateful to God for each one of them. I can't wait to do it all again next year!
