I wasn't very excited to arrive at the airport at 4am that December morning and see that my flight had been cancelled . . .

but happily they got me on another plane and I made it home!
The fun began immediately, here are a few snapshots with my family. . .
Matt refused to cooperate for the photo with his favorite sister

I
love how much my brothers can eat (this is only the first helping!)

Mom used to make these when I was a kid, so I taught Alena how to make the traditional Christmas bears and trees


Another tradition is that we always take a photo lined up on the stairs before opening gifts


Brock preferred Grandpa's hammer to any of his own gifts

Some of the grand kids

Matt, Alena, and Jay

Mom and Dad

I love wrapping presents!

Blane, Kristi, Denise, Jill, and Sheryl

Conner and Caleb admiring Gage's new toy

The newlyweds



Dad giving us a family history lesson

Rishelle brought 4 dolls over and plopped down in my lap, guess she needed some help holding them all

Mark and Brooke also refused to cooperate for a photo

Adelaide, the youngest grand kid (for now)

Gage and Brock at the piano

Brooke decided that she needed to help me sew . . .

Thanks for sharing all the photos. Your family looks like a lot of fun. Aren't families the best? I hope you had a wonderful holiday! Happy New Year!
Sooooo fun Brenda! It looks like you enjoyed your time there!!! Everyone is looking older and there are so many babies!!!:)
What great pics! I especially love the one of you holding up Adelaide! And lets talk about those roll bears... those are SO fun!!
...and all the other flights were on time! That's a bum deal yours was canceled. At least you made it home. :)
