New Years Eve

New Years Eve we were able to celebrate being together with Jeremy's side of the family. Two of his sisters came into town with their families. The cousins had a blast together. The usual is playing upstairs with toys and running around the bonus room. Kaitlyn snagged Aunt Becky's lap and had her read Cinderella. I got to play "Little Piggies" with Tori's toes. Ally played like crazy with Audrey and the rest of her cousins. The boys played pool downstairs and sat around. We all ate lots of great food. As it got a little later in the evening, papa watched "Father of the Bride" with the grandkids as the kids propped pillows under their heads on the floor. Oh! and we can't forget the kids gift exchange...can you see the excitement at the Christmas tree? This was our opportunity to celebrate Christmas with everyone. The kids loved the gifts and gift-giving. It was a great evening.


Kierstin and Becky are the youngst siblings and are great friends (as you can see below). Kierstin is pregnant with her second, a baby girl due in February. Becky is pregnant with her fourth, a baby girl due in April. What fun to be able to share the experience with your sister. More exciting news in the family is that there are two more babies coming this year. Jeremy's brother Leif and his wife Rachel are expecting twins. They are due in July, but we expect them a little sooner for health reasons. What an exciting year! Congrats!!!
