Starting the Holidays in Minnesota

We went to Minnesota last weekend to visit mommy's two brothers and three sisters. Josie had so much fun. She hated to leave one house, so I told her that there would be more cousins at the next house. When we got to the driveway, she yelled, "MORE cousins!!!!" Some of them are actually second cousins (Colleen's niece's kids.) Josie didn't do much decorating of gingerbread houses: it was too tempting to just eat the decorations. Her older cousins made some beautiful gingerbread houses. Next year we will have to make more intricate houses, maybe a little town!

Reading with Auntie Debbie and her grandkids.

Cousin Issac loves his Uncle Jim!

I had lots of fun with cousin Ava!

Getting Ready to make gingerbread houses.


Busted!

Sometimes you need to take a break from the hustle and bustle.

Bye-bye Uncle Matti.
