Christmas 2011 in Pics

Thanks for your prayers for me in China. I'll have to write about that in another post! I returned on the 18th, and unfortunately brought some nasty version of the flu home with me. I was pretty darn sick for about a week. But if you have to be sick, it was a good time to be, because there was a lot of help around!

We spent Christmas 2011 in our friends' lakehouse in on Lake Kiowa. Thanks so much, McCann's, for your generosity! With most of our family in Texas, it was a great location to invite everyone to come too. We were with my parents, Jim's parents, my brother Aaron and his wife Kristen, Aubrey and Taylor; my sister Jennifer, Tim, Ethan and Elise. We missed Meme & Papa, the Lamottas, the Bishops, and the Dingo's!

Cousin Elise always has such expressive faces!



















No matter what's in the box, it's cool to have all your cousins gawking
