Christmas Tour 2012 - Stop #2 (Overmohle)

This morning we left for Iowa to celebrate with my family. Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to Daddy, who had to stay behind because he came down with a case of shingles. It wasn't quite out of the contagious stage yet, and he knew how important it was to get to see the family, so he shooed us out the door after some hugs and kisses.

We arrived at Grandma and Grandpa's just before noon to a full house. For the first time since 2009, all of my brothers and their families were home for Christmas, which was great...but a little bittersweet for us since Husband was not able to make it. However, all four cousins got some great playtime and it was quite something to see them all together in my parent's house. We ate lunch, took some photos, and then the craziness began.

"For me, Grandma?"

Em

"What did you get?"

The carnage...

Playtime! All four of them on the floor with Grandpa and Uncle Jason.

What fun! Josh, Abbey, and Em left later that day, but we were so glad to have (almost) everyone there for at least an afternoon. Lucy, D, and E are still playing. Could be long night, but certainly a day not soon forgotten!
