Our Christmas was so wonderful. My brother was in town from Colorado with his family for almost a week and Daddy took the whole week off of work. We spent every day either out doing fun winter activities or hanging out at my parents' house. There are 17 of us all together, including 7 grand kids (6 boys) ages 6 and under. So it was mostly loud and crazy but so much fun. I am so blessed with a family that loves being together. We definitely miss the Colorado crew throughout the year and love having them in town.
Here are some highlights from the week - ice skating downtown, decorating candy houses, pretzel making, and lots of playing outside because we had beautiful weather. With all of those boys, there was a lot of wrestling and tackle football. There is even a room at my parents' house that is designated as the "wrestling room." They did such a great job playing together - I can't believe no one got hurt! Even Mr. Newton kept up pretty well. Cousin L, the only girl, was content to watch the ballerina spin on her new jewelry box while the boys tackled each other.

Here's a picture of each individual kid. I love them!
