We had a great Christmas holiday. Good food, happy kids, and great times with family. I am so thankful to Uncle Jared, Omi, and Meo for coming to stay with us! I know it was a lot of people in our tiny house. And there is no sleeping in with three little ones. But the kids adored having you with us. Pat and I enjoyed it too! It was great to see so much of my side of the family. As I said we all hadn’t been together in over three years! We hadn’t spent a holiday together in even longer. I am blessed with a great family that remains close even when we can’t see each other very much, but seeing each other is wonderful. Ben, Ali, and Sammy had a lot of fun. It was a great first Christmas for the girls.
I have a few more pictures to toss out there. I love seeing the kids interact with the rest of the family!

We had a ton of fun. Thank you to the whole family for all the love and generosity you showed us and the kids. We had a ton of fun and hope we can all get together again soon!
