Dec 18- Christmas Puzzle Day

Hayden LOVES puzzles. We alternated doing 2 easy puzzles all day. I wanted to start my hard one, but got scared. I need Jenn to come over to help me. Maybe for New Years Eve... :)

This is how we all felt after 5 basketball games in a row...)

Mackenzie, and Hayden

We called Indiana to talk to Manda on the computer. It was so fun to actually SEE Manda and her cute kids!! It was hard to hang up... :(

How fun to be able to do that with so much family! Growing up we used to get together with all my cousins, and it was SO fun doing a lot of those same traditions. Your kids will have many great memories. :)

Loved all of the pictures. Thanks for posting. Just got home from our own family gathering. Gotta love the chaos and fun. Can't believe none of your kiddos wanted to go see a Christmas movie. Are they already out of school? We still have a few more days to go....
