Last November we ALL...hit the road! Papa, Momma, Christie, Lillian, Benjamin, Marcus, Eva...and even Aunt Meg was with us for part of the trip. We started at home in Wilmington, made our way to Colorado and then swung back by Kansas...all so we could see ALL of our family! Marcus and Eva had a blast at Uncle Bryce and Aunt Jessie's house:)
All of us siblings met there to celebrate "Christmas" a little early. Bryce was in charge of the sweet potato casserole...and those are not big fluffy marshmallows on top...those are ginormous globs of butter! He was not so pleased with whatever sarcastic comment I apparently had about his dish:)
Shannon was faithfully on cleanup...and happy about it:)
Now if ever there were brothers in law that were meant to be it's these two. They are hilarious and for being so totally different they are so stinkin' similar!
Jana was still very preggo with baby Jagger at Thanksgiving time. Bella could not wait to become a big sister! And a teaser now...Jagger was born on January 5...same exact birthday as his big sissy!
Awww...the happy hosts!
Trevor as usual was a trooper hanging with a million little cousins:)
Benjamin's joy for just everyday life is a constant encouragement to me...I love this boy!
A huge blessing on this trip was we got to meet our sweet niece Lucy Bea...a sweet, content, beautiful little girl! Love you Lucy Bea!
Uncle Nick and Aunt Shannon with some of the kiddos...they at this point were in the process of putting together their portfolio for the adoption process...and another teaser...we have another nephew born this summer...so thankful for little Ryder Dean!
Not just cousins...but the best of friends!
Christie and Trevor sporting their very own matching frog hats!
A picture is worth a thousand words...right...well I will spare you many words on this one...just know this was by far the funniest part of the evening:)
ALL of the cousins wearing their new froggie hats...it made Auntie Anne very very happy! As you can see...not all of the babes were thrilled about their hats...but it's still stinkin' cute:)
Kissy face!
Matching bags from Aunt Jana
Fun times! I know we won't be able to do this forever...but for now...we capture and relish every moment these kids get to be together!
