We got to go home to MN for the first time in three years. We were only home for a week, but it was still great. We mostly spent time with family, but were able to see a few friends too. Live every trip to Minnesota, we left feeling like no matter how much time we'd spend there we still wouldn't be able to spend time with all the people we'd like to.
Grandma Sharon surprised all the kids with tickets to see the Minneapolis Children's Theater production of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. It was good, and all six of the cousins got to sit together and amazed us at how attentive they were. 
Christmas day was spent at Mom's house. Grandma made Quillo's for all the kids. A quillo is a quilt that folds up into a pillow. Eli sleeps under his every night, the other two use theirs downstairs for movies.
We also spent a day with the Lefto's just after Christmas. Eli had the Christmas crabbies (which is why he looks funny in the picture because I had to photoshop him in). The boys always love spending time with their big cousins, and there's never a dull moment with the Lefto clan!Justin's gone in Texas this week for a Youth Leader Training Conference, so I'm ... well, excited for his return on Friday! If I make it that long.

Yes, it was a great Christmas with the whole family together. (Kara, there were 7 grandkids, not 6.)
It looks like Eli and Grandma should not have gotten up so early that morning. (At least not Grandma).
It's good that you still enjoy MN. I worried that you'd like Florida or KS better. But it's always great when you're here! Love you All.

Looks like you guys had fun. Wish I could have seen you all. I have one question. .. . . . is Eli photo shopped in that last pic???? :) It looks a little different. Maybe I am crazy!!!!
I get the Christmas Crabbies too sometimes
It was so good to be able to see you guys while you were up! I never feel like we get to spend enough time with you guys, but hopefully soon we will come and see you!!!!
That's cool I guess the Holmes wedding doesn't count as coming home, since you haven't been home to MN in 3 years. Also I will mail you some coke eventually (not the drug).

Hey there! Don't know if you've been to my blog lately, but baby Jericho safely made her appearance on Jan 13. When my mom and dad were here I took some of the pics from their camera and added to iPhoto. There were two of all of our kids together. It was fun to see :) I hope you'll be able to make it to MN again this year and that we can get together again!
