The Hales' Visit

The first week of January, several of the Hales came up for a few days.

Anna and Steven brought sparklers for the kids.  We all had fun with them! :)

Christmas At Mama Flo's

Our third Christmas was with Daddy's extended family in early January.

It's so fun to have this many little ones in the family!  (Plus a few more who aren't in this picture.)

Hudson found a quiet place to play with his new farm animals under the table.

Remember this hat?  If you're late for Christmas, you just might be the recipient of someone else's unwanted gag-gift!

A baby book for the new little one on the way.

A new tie

All the siblings and spouses drew names, so we waited until S&A were here to exchange those.
