Fun with My Family!!

>>The kids with Grammy and Grandpa

>>> The three sisters!
>>> My sweet parents

Yipee! After many months of waiting my family finally arrived for their much anticipated visit. It was the fastest 9 days ever. It seemed the time just flew by! But it was so wonderful to have them here. My parents and my two sisters all four came and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of their time with us. We, of course, had to take them to the beach for a day or two. They are all from Illinois and had just experienced that huge snow and ice storm that went through a the beginning of the month. So we took them away to warm up for a few days! My two brothers were probably a bit jealous that they were out working every day in the ice and cold while the rest of their family was at the beach, but maybe that will encourage them to get their passports and come along next time too. (hint hint guys!!)

We also did a lot of this:

Just hanging around together. That was the best thing of all. Just having a week in December so close to Christmas to just be together! We made some Christmas candy and went out to eat and laughed till we cried. It was a fun time! Thanks Mom, Dad, Amy and Jeni for giving us all such a wonderful Christmas present!

Hope that you, my blog-reading friends, are all well. I decided to enjoy my family while they were here and have taken a bit of a break on reading your blogs and catching up on your latest. But I hope to take some time to do that in the next few days! I hope you are all enjoying this special time of year!

Blessings!! Chrissy
