Christmas...

With a 4 year old and 1 year old, of course we had a great Christmas. P was so excited he could hardly stand it. My brother and his family came to visit so we actually had 4 kids under 5 here. Whew!

Jon, Anne and kids arrived the Tuesday before Christmas in Colorado Springs to spend a few days at my parents before they all came here. Their baby boy, M, had been sick and once they got here, ended up in the hospital Thursday morning with viral pnemonia. He stayed until Sunday night. He was on oxygen for the entire trip, but is off of it now and doing fine. So, our original plan of them spending the weekend at our house changed.

Instead, we went to my parents Saturday. Their 2 year old daughter had a blast playing with her cousins.
(There are sledding pictures somewhere that I can't find)

Here is a picture of the girls together. The matching clothes wasn't on purpose, but I had to add the matching pigtails.

Sunday morning we took them all to Chuck E Cheese to run off some energy.

Then Sunday afternoon we brought A back to our house to spend the night.

The rest of the family joined her Monday afternoon. And we had a fun Christmas with the whole crew.

Here is K with her new purse (with a stuffed dog in it!)

And K giving M his bottle. She already loves babies!

Here are Mere and Pere with the grandkids.
And P and K in their Christmas jammies.
On Christmas Eve we had a rare opportunity to have all four cousins together - a great photo opportunity.

Christmas evening we went to the Myers to open more presents. And even eat from a chocolate fountain. Wow!
