I've told you this before but I have to say it again. You have a lovely family, it's great to be able to spend time with the extended family as well.

Thanks so much! The extended family are my in-laws. Everyone else lives too far away. My daughter, Amanda, asked, "What is an aunt?" just before Christmas. :(
She has an aunt, but we haven't met her yet. My brother got married about 10 years ago, but they live in Taiwan. My kids will one day get married and have kids and then they will experience being aunts and uncles and their children will be cousins. I just hope they don't all move too far away from each other. I love big family get-togethers!
I hope your Christmas was wonderful and I wish you and your adorable family a blessed 2016!

Your family is beautiful! What a different and lovely part of the world you live in. While your kids may be longing for snow - I am hoping to get somewhere warm and beachy before winter is over. Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope we can connect more in the future.

Oh it looks like y'all had a fabulous time! I love that wreath that your MIL made. We had a fairly beachy holiday as well.

Thanks for sharing with us at Photo Friday!

Christina, we had unseasonably warm weather Christmas weekend. I actually wore shorts, but now it's freezing. I hate the cold soooo much! Of course, you're having summer and we're having winter. BTW, did you ever sell your house? I know you were hoping to do this to move back to the states? Please keep DH in prayer, as he hasn't found work yet. I know God will provide. Have a fototastic week!
