With Jerry's work, he gets 2 weeks of paternity leave. By the grace of God he was able to take one over Christmas and we were therefore able to spend a beautiful week with his parents in California. Marie was able to come out for Christmas weekend, and Casey and his family made a quick trip out to spend Sunday with everyone too. We hadn't seen everyone, nor had the family been all together, since September of '09. It was wonderful to be reminded of what a great family we have :)
On Sunday, after church, we had a friend take a family snapshot for us... pretty good, eh?
Grampa and Oma with their grandchildren... (left to right) James, Trenton, Lucas, Tys, Katie, and Peter. Casey and Lisa are expecting the 7th grandchild in July. Here's hoping there's another girl :)
Our little family... me and my boys!
Grandpa and his grandbaby #6
We spent some time on Christmas eve exchanging gifts... spoiled, everyone!!
Jerry and little Lucas. Just had to add this photo... too cute :)
Oma took the kids outside and let them throw corn to the chickens and the goats... the kids LOVED this!
Here is the man in the tree. Mom stood behind and spoke as if she was the tree. Katie and Tys had seen the show before and had it almost figured out (Tys told her it couldn't be the tree because the mouth wasn't moving), but James was totally taken with it... no clue about Oma :)
Oma with Lucas, James and Katie.
Lucas is here to help!
New and renewed friendships... with sleepy, TV zoned faces.
And here's a little phot I had to share from our house... little Peter is growing too fast.
