I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We had a very busy week. Carrie and David and the boys got here very early on Christmas Eve, and we went to my grandparents on Christmas Eve and had pizza. Ryan and Katie got here Christmas Eve night. Christmas Day we had a nice relaxing morning of presents and blueberry muffins and then went to my parents house for the rest of the day (with everybody above and the Bratchers). It was a fun day of presents, eating, playing Pounce/Nerts, and just hanging out. Here are the customary pictures in front of the tree with presents. The only thing Violet realllllly wanted this year, and asked for quite often, was the Dora and flying horse that she is holding. She was very excited to open it.
When George and Nolan are here the four of them come in as a group deal....we'll call them "The Crew". They play sooo well together, there is a lot of hugging, playing, laughing, screaming, and occasionally crying (mainly by Hazel). I am glad they like eachother so much, cousins are great people to have in your life! Here are some more Christmas pictures....

Great pics! I just posted mine too! I'm glad we got to see you!
Thank goodness you're family isn't going anywhere. Its way too quiet around here with everybody else gone. I am truly blessed with the most precious and adorable grandchildren in the universe. I thank my God every day for blessing me with you and your sister and brother too. If God took me home today, I could leave this earth with no regrets because you kids and your father have made my life complete. And it can only get better as our family continues to grow. I love ya. Mom
Hi, I found your blog post through a search for “Nertz”. It is cool to see others that know about the game. I hope you don’t mind but I wanted to let you know about playnertz.com, the site for the National Nertz Association. There is a bunch of interesting Nertz information there and you can also find out how to play Nertz online there. I hope you will check it out. Feel free to join and also let your friends and family know. Thanks
WOW Laura. A cyber stalker? Really? =) Maybe I should start playing Nertz then I could get a fan club too! =) I LOVE to look at your pictures. It makes me feel like I was there, and seeing Violet and George next to each other is shocking at the similarities to you and Carrie at that age. Beautiful kiddos!
I gave you a surprise on my blog... :)
