MO Christmas

We had such a good Christmas in Missouri this year! I have a slew of pictures - I'll let the pictures do the talking. . .

There were 4 new babies this year!!

Karson is the oldest (Mark & Jana's), born in February,

then Emme (Jeff & Vicki's) was born in April,

then Clayton was born in October,

and Elijah (Dana & Phil's) was born in November!

Meet little Mr. and Mrs. Claus!

Ready to find out what's in that huge stocking!

Caleb, the natural artist, loved his sketch pad and colored pencils!

The girls wanted buns for their hair and a picture so they could see! :-)

We are definitely a game-playing family. With 24 people in the house, we took cover in the basement. Jeff beat me in this Acquire game over just one measly Continental card (grr!).

Teresa, Debbie, and Andrea Lee laughing hysterically over who knows what. :-)
It was so good to see our cousins again!

And Lisa Alexander stopped by too!

Caleb was delighted with the successful hunt - a rabbit and squirrel.

What did we do before laptop computers?

It was such a treat to get to see our good friends, Jared and Melinda Hall, while we were in Missouri.

We met them at a restaurant in Bolivar and had a good time. They got to meet Clayton and we got to meet Landon.

We hadn't seen each other for 2 years! Texas is way too far away from Cincinnati!

It was great to see all of your Christmas pictures. We missed you all at Grandma's, but are glad you were able to visit with your family over the holidays as well. Have a great week.

I really enjoyed seeing all your Christmas pictures. You got some really cute Pictures of all the babies! I liked the one of Mr and Mrs Clause the best I think! REALLY cute! It must have been so much fun with all the cousins playing and running around.
