We headed back East again this year to celebrate Christmas with both our families. First stop, Pennsylvania, to celebrate with my (Kelli) side of the family. 13 people (5 of which are 5 and under) in a cozy log cabin in the woods = lots of good times and laughter. It was a bit bittersweet as this will be our last time together for a while as my sister Lynn, her husband Nate and their little girl Abigail are headed overseas in February for mission work. While we are so exicted for them and grateful for their obedience to God's call on their lives, we will greatly miss having them around.

Christmas morn
These lego-man headlamps were a hit with all the kids and provided lots of fun playing hide and go seek in the dark for both the kids and adults!
Maia and Abigail - the only 2 girl cousins need to stick together!
Nate, Lynn, and Abigail
Maia got this bug catcher vacuum/magnifier and vest for Christmas. . .this is her reaction to looking at the head of a walking stick that my Mom "saved" for her from the fall. Now that is a dedicated grandmother.
Our little clay nativity that most of the kids helped to create. . .I think that big orange giant is Joseph.

These are so fun! I'm so glad the kids have cousins to make these memories with. I especially love the one of the grandparents with all the cousins.=)
