Northern Christmas

We headed to Northern Indiana last Thursday afternoon to enjoy some good extended family time. My mom has two brothers that live in Goshen and they are always making the trip to Southern Indiana for the Holidays and so we decided to give them a break this year and we all headed up North.

This time of the year is always so special yet we all hate to see it come... the reason I say this is bc my Grandma Zetta and her husband Joe head to Florida after our celebrations. We are never ready to see them go. So we celebrate thanksgiving and christmas all together. You ask how... we have our big ol turkey dinner and then after stuffing ourselves we exchange gifts.

My cousin Jonique and I always lived five hours apart and when we got together over weekends we were two peas in a pod. Our favorite thing to do was playing barbies together.
So its so fun to grow our families together. They have Jack who will be three in January and Brynlee who will turn one in February.

Here are our kiddos lovin on eachother..
Oh, and they were loving the ring pops the mammas
