Christmas Part 2

After having our Christmas at home on Friday morning, we loaded up the Traverse and headed to Mom's house for the weekend.  It is always a little crazy there, but worth every second.  I love spending the time with my Mom and Ralph and all of my siblings and their kids.  There were 5 kids this year between all of our families, and with an addition to our family and to Allison and Daryl's next year there will be 7!  I can only imagine!!  Here are a few of my favorite shots from Mom's house...

My gift from D- he drew my name this year.  Impressive wrapping, right? 

Ralph and little Toby.  I never thought I would see the day that Ralph was holding a dog, but wouldn't you know I was wrong.  They adopted this little guy for Ralph's Mom and haven't given him to her yet... 

The kids enjoying a little snack- I cracked up at Ben in this picture because the little chair I have his booster seat strapped too was almost too low for the table! 

Ben on Christmas Morning

After leaving Mom's house on Sunday afternoon we headed over to celebrate with the Vollmer's.  Fun and crazy at the Vollmer house as always... 

Ben's hair looks like he got a hold of a scissors in this picture, but really he didn't.  Just the weird way it fell in this pic.  I had to post it though, look at that precious face!! 

Ben loves his Aunt Lin and Aunt Caity 

One of his favorite presents... the fireman hat!! 

Usually good for about 15 solid minutes of entertainment with Ben- a big pad of paper and some fat crayons. 

What little boy doesn't need a rocking horse?
