Christmas with family

We were once again blessed to spend some time with our family over the holidays.  The first stop was Susan's on Christmas day.  Judy came down to see us once again and Justin and Meghan and kids were around for Christmas dinner too.  The kids were eager to open more presents, but they also had fun playing with Ariana.  Despite no naps and a long day, we made it through Christmas day, but we had two pretty tired kiddos that night!

We were able to spend a couple nights with Susan and Judy.  It snowed just for us and we had some fun sledding and playing on the icy pond.

Next we headed to my parents for some more Christmas fun.  It was a full house with my brothers and their families and Timothy and Teresa loved it.  Waiting for presents was hard, but playing with cousins was great!  We had lots of great family time.

And of course the cousins did their annual Christmas pageant with Cal joining the cast for the first time.  Timothy was a shepherd and wise one and Teresa was a star and angel.  As always it was good for a lot of laughs and smiles.

We were lucky to have the chance to stay in MN for the week.  We had cousin time, playground time, pool time, a birthday celebration for Timothy.  Needless to say, it was a full and fun week!
