Trying to get 12 people together, who live in 3 different states, in the middle of winter, can be quite a challenge. Throw in 4 full-time jobs, school schedules and needs of the family, and it can seem daunting. But we did it! And over New Years too! 

We gathered at mom and dads house with Wes, Kim, Kaleb and Elsie to celebrate: New Years Eve, Christmas, and Wesley's birthday! We can sure cram in the fun over 2 1/2 days! We spent most of the time either getting ready to eat, eating, or cleaning up from the mess 12 people can make. Lots of dirty dishes! But we also managed to open a TON of very thoughtful and very special gifts. The folks were amazing hosts of this years celebrations! We enjoyed so much special time and memories together. The cousins loved playing with each other, and the missing cousin was sorely missed by all. 

The women did a fantastic job on Christmas dinner. It was quite an impressive piece of meat. And we ate almost all of it. Before getting on the road, we were also able to sing Happy Birthday to Wes and eat some cupcakes! We love food!
