Christmas with the Cousins

(Xanny and twin cousin Max)

Ahhh, it's Christmas with the cousins ....

This weekend we had a blast with my sister Marcia's kids. They recently moved to Colorado and it's great to have them closer. (Even though it took them 8 hours to fly here with the icy weather.) Our kids are great friends, especially Max and Jane who are right around the same age as my kids.

The girls twirled and wore beautiful golden crowns inside the warm house.


Baby Tate ate large amounts of saucy noodles.

Isabella spent most of her time with her twin cousin Maddie.


And the boys spent hours and hours outside making snow caves and getting frost-bite!

Thank goodness for the miracle of hot coco. I think their brains returned to normal functioning levels after enough warm liquid.

I promise Xanny was much happier than he looks in this picture!


Now everyone is caught up on Marcia's kids. Merry Christmas, Wrides. We'll see you for New Years!
