These are pics from our time in Indiana over New Years. We had a really good time with lots of family gatherings and a New Years party with our old sunday school class that was a blast. Aparently though we only took a few pictures, mostly of kids, and almost all of them on the day we opened presents! Here they are...
Easton has really gotten a lot bigger since we last saw him. We had his name and gave him a wooden pull toy in the shape of a frog and some cool plastic bug toys (BPA free of course)!
We also had Cassia's name this year and we got her a couple of activity books, one that has lots of princess things to make to wear, and the other has things to make little stuffed toys, kind of like potatoe head dolls I think but soft and more options.
Anna and Isaac both got those little razor scooters from Mimi and Pawpaw.
Luke got a bunch of things including this music set in the picture above (I think the canastas are his favorite). He also got some books and movies, a great big play mat which he loves and some hand-me-down duplos from Kent and Kathy's family which he also loves.
Greg was bad so this was all he got.
(actually Greg's parents were in Europe so they got us each afew smaller things from there, Greg got the travel water bottle from his name and a couple of shirts from his parents, and then we each got a Christmas tree ornament with some cash in it. Greg and I used our cash for a bluray player which we are really enjoying because it enables us to watch netflix movies from the internet on our tv instead of having to watch them on the computer.)
From Greg's parents I got a beautiful set of earings and a necklass pendant. From my name some knitting needles and one of those things you can use to hang your purse up anywhere so it doesn't go on the floor!
After the gifts we took a bumch of family shots, first all the grandkids!

And us, not a great pic of us I'm afraid but I am not very photogenic so that's how it goes.
;-)
Fortunately Luke is extremely photogenic as evidenced by the above pic with his fake smile!
We had a lot of fun just hanging out together...
And being silly......
All too soon it was time to go home....
I don't remember this pic at all, was I driving???
This video is from our last evening which we spent in Indianapolis with our good friends there. Jen's brother Jon was on his way home too adn staying with them, and he was a huge hit with Luke. We had a really good time eating burgers and playing wii mario cart at Kevin and Jen's house, and then spent the late evening playing board games at Dori and Tom's and getting to know their new family member, a very sweet old dog. The next morning Dori ate a late breakfast with us and we hit the road. Unfortunately we left behind Luke's three favorite books and he is still asking us for them. It really is my fault that he doesn't have them, I remembered them before we got on the highway but didn't realize how attatched Luke was and told Greg that since we were already so late we could just have Dori send them to us later. Then I kept forgetting to send Dori our address so she could, but hopefully they will be back soon. I am amazed that he still is asking for them after all this time!
