Wisconsin Christmas

A few days after Christmas we headed to Wisconsin to celebrate Christmas/New Years with Brian's side of the family.  We had a couple of days to just hang out and visit before diving into another family Christmas.  We were thrilled to finally meet little Emmett, and all the kiddos had so much fun playing together.  Emma loved having girls to play girlie things with, and Samuel was right in the midst of the girls and the boys depending on his desire.  Nathan is always good with the little ones, but also gets to do his own special things (play Gameboy, borrow Daddy's MP3 player, and stay up later than any of the other kids on New Years Eve.)  It was a great trip and it has been hard to decide which of the gazillion pictures to post!

We usually have a good amount of snow for our Wisconsin Christmas visit... not so this year.  But the kids were excited to see some snow anyway!  I took the three youngest out for a bit, and this was Lucas's very first time in the snow!  He seemed to enjoy it!

 And now, Christmas is officially over!
