Christmas Recapped

We were so blessed last Christmas to spend a week with my family. It was wonderful to have everyone gather together here in North Carolina even if we did have an icy snow storm to cope with instead of the balmy holiday I'd been betting on. But, if there's one thing I've learned this winter, it's don't bet on the weather!

Everyone enjoyed cuddling and playing with little Luana. She's a sweet baby and has the most beautiful eyes and smile! She was a wonderful traveller and did a great job sleeping for the most part. I think she adjusted faster than Mommy and Daddy did!


Sweet Jayden, Christina and Austin's baby, was always dressed to the nines. Who said shopping for baby boys isn't fun! Here he is sleeping through present opening Christmas morning. I think Mommy and Daddy were wishing they could catch a few zzzz's too!

We were so thankful that Ken made it down to spend Christmas with us. The weather didn't looks like it was going to cooperate, but God made a way! Anne was especially thankful to have her Hubby join her after a week spent with the crazy Armstrong sisters.

Kelly, Heidi, Jared, Maxwell, and Ruby... distributing gifts on Christmas morning. Max made a gift train!

The four sisters-- Christina, Heidi, Alyssa, and Bethany. None of us are twins-- just in case you were wondering!

Sisters and our kiddos. Heidi got to hold Ruby for me since I had my hands full with just squirmy Max!

Anne and the girls.

It was hard to say goodbye to Claudio, Alyssa, and Luana. The kids miss their cousins, but we sure do love seeing pictures and videos on Facebook to keep in touch. What a blessing family is!
