Merry Christmas!!!


We've had a whirlwind of a Christmas celebration. Wonderful, but quick! Friday night was a Christmas party with the Lindley family. Only 42 of us could be there. Then Saturday was just the immediate family of 15, including 5 children under 3. Sunday morning was just Hans and I, then off to the family gathering again, this time adding the grandfolks, for a cozy 17. Brunch, many gifts, and 3 hours later, we were all passed out in various spots and levels of sleep. After rejuvenating, we sat down to a wonderful Christmas dinner ala Norman Rockwell.

Here's a few pics to give you an idea of the wonderful fun to be had by all!

Hans is a magnet to all little tiny people in my family.

Christmas morning with the 2 of us. Showing off a few gifts from Hans' folks.

We took some family photos since the whole clan was together.

Me, Henry (18 mo.), Molly (9 mo.), Eleanor (12 mo.), Maddie (3 yrs) and Josie (2 1/2 yrs). These kiddos are such a joy!

Here's Maddie getting a kiss from her favorite Uncle.
