First, let me get you up to speed on our new family members so that this post will make sense :) In April of 2010, my brother, Mike, married my new sister-in-law, Melissa. Melissa has 3 kids….Alexis (12), Ashlyn (6), and Aaron (4). We are thrilled to have them in our family!!
Mike and Melissa were in Houston for the holidays….that is where Melissa’s family is. So we missed spending Christmas with them. So we did Christmas Again on January 8th.
This would be my sweet nephew Aaron doing what he loves best…playing video games.
Here is Ashlyn giving my Dad some love….she is such a cuddly little thing :)
Here is my beautiful niece, Alexis.
This kids got to open gifts all over again….like they didn’t do enough of that in December :)
The little ones couldn’t wait to open their new gifts and play with them…..of course, Aaron couldn’t get Daddy to open them, so he went straight to Aunt Mary Beth (he knows what a sucker I am ).
By the way, we have been driving remote control cars all these years in the wrong way….this is the right way to do it :)
Did I mention there was dessert involved???
Since all of Kari’s cousins live out of state, she is enjoying having new cousins that live 20 minutes away!!
Then it was time to pull out the old tripod and get some family pics….it is so rare that we are all in the same room together!!
Of course, this also happened to be the day it snowed!! So out the kids went to play in the snow. They had a blast!!
Our family has expanded and we are THRILLED!!! What a great first Christmas Again in January :)
Until next time….
