Christmas and Family

We had a wonderful Christmas and hope that you all had a nice holiday too! My two brothers from Arizona came to Michigan for Christmas this year and a benefit of living with mom and dad is that when the family comes to see them, we get to see them too! We love it! Matt and Julie and their three kids and Brock, Kamalani, and Keola were here for about 2 weeks. We did lots of shopping, played games, and learned to knit. Makell got to meet 4 of her cousins and got lots of loves. We spent New Years playing rousing games of Cranium and Scattergories and toasted at midnight! It has been so nice to spend a few days at home just relaxing and being with those I love most.



A few of Makell's Christmas gifts:
A vibrating, giggling puppy from Mom and Dad
A jumper from Grandma and Grandpa Olsen
A Bumbo seat from Grandma and Grandpa Hansen




This is the almost completed hat that Julie knit for her daughter, Ashlyn. She did an amazing job for her first knitting project!


Makell and Ashlyn: It was so fun to put these two girls together. They are just four weeks apart and they loved to grab and eat each other. :)

Cuddling with Keola


Happy New Year! (Toasting with sparkling grape juice of course :) )
