Christmas Vacation

We had a wonderful 2 week Christmas Vacation with our family in Illinois. Here are some of the highlights from our trip!

Surprise! Uncle Kevin was married at his "engagement party". The boys were two of the cutest little ring bearer's that you ever saw.
Pierce was so excited to get his favorite cartoon character (Iron Giant) for Christmas. Thank you Oma!

Thanks for the great piano Oma. We now have a nightly lounge act around our house.


Pierce's new hero "Kevin the Army". He insisted that Uncle Kevin wear his uniform to Christmas so that he could see it and ask important questions.

Pierce went "ice skating" at Pappy's house. You can see that he has inherited my aptitude for the sport. Notice the turned ankles and general floppiness. Now you know what I look like on ice skates. Maybe I just need 2 big guys to hold me up. Hmmm, that might solve my problem.


Having a blast with Pappy at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry.


Playing with colors at the museum.


Touring the Jelly Belly Factory with Pappy. Hats were a requirement for all.


A kid in a candy store!

Pierce sure loves his Grandma!


Christmas morning! Can't you just feel the excitement.


Grandma in her glory with baby Asher and Colin fresh out of the tub.


Sledding is hard work.


Pierce loves his "babies". Although little Colin doesn't look too happy about having the love squeezed out of him.
What a great Christmas. We hope the everyone had as much fun as we did. Happy New Year!
