Christmas Break = Time with Family…!

Since my brother came into Texas with his family we have been spending a lot of time as a family.  I love that we don’t have to make any “plans” but we just sort of end up getting together. 

The cousins love playing together… whether it being wrestling, playing the Wii, or just running around the house together.  The adults enjoy sitting around and visiting or playing a game of pinochle .
We did have a couple special occasions to celebrate… such as Israel’s 9th birthday, the Seahawks game, and Christmas.  I have lots of pictures that say a thousand words about this special time with family.  

Brotherly Love... they hate posing for pictures

Wrestling was a big hit this year...
