This past weekend the Winters' Family celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas. Benj, Anna, Kyle, and Vas all flew in to celebrate, and we had Kelsey on Skype. It was a great time, here are some pictures:

Talking to Aunt Anna:
Look Mom...no hands!
I took a nap with daddy
I read stories with Grandpa (if anyone knows of a good tool to remove red-eye let me know)
In our family, everyone has a handmade stocking. Over the past few years I have taken on the task of making one for all of the newcomers (and my parents, because they didn't have them), so I got to make one for Dax this year:
Dax in his new Christmas PJ's from Grandma and Grandpa
Hanging out with Grandpa and my new snowman from mommy and daddy
Check out my new reindeer hat from Aunt Jessie and Uncle Dustin
We had a great time and it was wonderful seeing everyone, but really sad to see them all go. I sometimes miss the days when we all lived in the same house together - we never had to spend any holidays apart.
Great photos! Try picnik.com for the red-eye. Super easy, free, photo-shop like program. LOVE the handmade stockings, by the way!!! : )
ReplyDeleteLove it! I really wish I had been adopted into your family at some point... you guys are such a great bunch! But where are the pics of Jessie?! It's really neat to see Kyle and Ben holding a baby, and I can totally tell how in love with Dax your Dad is. Too sweet! You look great, btw!
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies!! Beth, I didn't get a ton of pics of Jessie on my camera...we had 4 cameras going the entire weekend and I only have the ones from my camera so far!
ReplyDeleteJoanne, the stockings are about as crafty as I get...it helps that they come in a kit and I just follow the instructions for sequins, stitches, etc :)
