Christmas With David's Family

We had a fun couple days at David's parents house over the Christmas weekend....

Cookie Making

 

Stratego Playing



This is just a reminder to myself (and others maybe) not to throw away any of the kids handmake ornaments, no matter how junky they seem now.  Look how cute this one from young David is, that I found on his parents tree!

Just the Boys

Treasure hunt to get to the big gifts.

Two of Jamie's favorite gifts: princess earmuffs and goldfish.

Beach, Sun, Lake Michigan, Eating, Biking, Snacking, Family, Drinking, did I say eating...could any thing make for a better vacation?

The Vacationers

I think I could take sunset pictures everyday and not get bored with it.

It is only a matter of time, until it isn't cute to take pictures of sandy bums. But for now, I can.

A lot of 'soup' making happening during the week.

My favorite quote of the week from Rachel: "Uuggg what a disaster!"

No comment on the naked kids all in one pool.

Daniel chillin.

These 2 decided it would be a good idea to get married.

Grandpa taught Dawson how to sand surf.

We celebrated Josie's 1st birthday on vacation also. Happy Birthday Josie!
