Grandma and Grandpa's

On Wednesday mid-day we left for Grandma and Grandpa's house in Pennsylvania. That evening we gathered for a pot-luck dinner with Darin's sister's family, his cousins, and aunts and uncles. Some of these folks we only get to see once a year, so it's a special time of visiting and catching up.

Enjoying the awesome fire in the fireplace on this chilly day. 

 The extended family gathering and annual gift exchange.

 The annual Christmas brunch (and my silly boys!)

Grandma was very patient and read LOTS of stories to the boys. :)

We had a good time visiting with both sides of our families, but this introvert was glad to get home Friday night! phew! Now who wants to come help fold laundry and un-decorate!?! :) 

So thankful for the boys being happy travelers and having minimal traffic on our return home.
