Christmas 2013 - Part II

After Tim and I recovered from the flu we got ready the next day for fun company! Grandpa and Grandma Ireland, along with Tim's older brother Greg, sister in law Christine, and their three kids - Esther, Jadon and Rahab (from Washington), along with Tim's younger brother, Brad and his son Owen (from Montana -- we missed Megan his wife as she had to work) all came to visit and celebrate Christmas in Hutch!  Good thing we finished our basement this year because this is the most people we have had in our house staying over! It worked out pretty well I think! Don and Ferol took our spare bedroom, Esther, Jadon and Rahab camped out in the basement family room area, Greg and Chris took our office with our pullout couch bed, and Brad stayed in our craft room on a blow up mattress with the pack n play for little Owen! We did lots of fun activities during our time with family. We opened up presents, went sledding and skating in our backyard on our pond, decorated gingerbread houses, celebrated Rahab's 2nd birthday at the bowling alley and played lots of games! All in all it was great weekend hanging out with family! Again, lots and lots of photos to share!!

I bought everyone cute little animal hats for Christmas!
