We had a great time when Chelan's brother and family came out for a visit this past week! We were quite busy with gatherings, but good memories were made for sure! Finn and Chayce are growing like weeds. It's amazing how big they are each time we see them (about every 6 months if we're lucky)!
The kids enjoyed projects like building and painting birdhouses (gifts from Grandma and Grandpa), putting on the Christmas play, checking out the new tractor and cows on the farm, going on a hike by the creek, and playing numerous games of Minataurus (a new Lego game). We all enjoyed laughing, reconnecting, and eating plenty of food -- I wonder how many pounds I put on!
Aside from keeping Finn away from the stairs, an almost-broken nose (Caiden's), Matt hunkered down in a ditch to avoide skeet-shooters (a hilarious story), and Treg coming down with the flu the night before they left, we had a fantastic time!
Cale, Caiden, and Finn are working with the Minataurus game
Finn got some practice on our stairs New Year's Eve. Two steps weren't nearly as intimidating as a whole flight!
Our Christmas dinner was a fish fry -- remember all those fish we caught this summer? It was really good -- my first experience of eating the tail was a good one!
The manger scene -- Caiden-shepherd, Chayce-angel, Finn-wiseman, Delaney-Jesus, Mace-Joseph, Cambry-Mary, Cale-narrator
Look! We even have the bright star!
Cambry got some pop beads from the McCabe's. Since Trissa is really into beading, Cambry had a great time beading with her aunt! They're so much fun!
