Happy New Year

We rang in 2015 with Granny & Pa, Auntie Sara, Uncle Josiah and baby Cari. Ok, technically most of us rang in the new year warmly snug in our beds. Except Jacob, who summoned his 25year old self and played video games all night.  And Ruthie... who was rudely awakened by the neighbors monsterous firework displays. I was in bed this year, but I videoed some of the fireworks last year:



We had a wonderful visit with everyone for the long weekend. Here are some photo highlights.

The big kids, being silly with Granny

 

We opened Christmas presents.

Ruthie got a cute outift and lacing boards, which she loves!

 

Jonathan and Cari got outfits and bows for their heads. Which they barely noticed ;)

 

Nathan got an outfit and more legos; he couldn't be happier!

 

Granny got a placemat of the human body from her loving son... haha

 

Faith got an outfit and a loom.

She's getting the hang of it well. Her first project - a gift for her best friend - is almost done, then she wants to make a rug for her dollhouse.

 

 

We played the kids new "Head Bandz" game one evening.

 

Pa & Uncle Josiah were overjoyed. hahaha

 

Lots of silliness with Pa

 

And some quiet snuggles with Granny.

It was a great visit, we're so glad you all could come over!
