Christmas #2...



Monday morning found us heading south to celebrate Christmas #2, but what really made the day special was that it was Gotcha Day #6, the day we honor Kaia joining our family. The first time we saw the most beautiful brown eyes peeking out from this tiny pink fuzzy ball of fur, we knew our lives were changed forever!

Because this day was a day of travel, we were unable to celebrate with our usual dinner out to Chinese, but many hugs and kisses were given, nonetheless.














The next day we celebrated Christmas #2 with Mike's family, and the kids were all happy that the snow showed up upon our arrival! This was the first time that all the cousins were together in two years, and with them all growing up, who knows how many more of these special times together they will all have. We spent an afternoon bowling too, which was a lot of fun!
Just couldn't get Jaelyn to open her eyes in a single shot. Darn her goofiness!
"The boys" and their madre.




Hours of Risk 2010. Notice no girls!

Girl cousins playing card, puzzles, and coloring:)

Boys and their toys! 







We made a trip down into California specifically to see Mike's 97 year old grandma, Mammy. She is an amazing lady who still gets around well and lives on her own.



More holiday ramblings to come later....
