There are a lot of years between my siblings and I. Barry (the second youngest) and I are seven years apart so for awhile it felt like I was an only child. We used to get together pretty often during the holidays and then for some reason we just stopped. I remember during high school just wishing we'd all stay together in a big house for a couple of days playing games, eating food, opening presents and...well...just being together. This year, after nagging my parents constantly, my dream finally came true. We all crammed together in a big house in Utah, ate lots of food and just sat around soaking each other in. I was beyond excited! And guess what! We get to do the same thing in 2014 and every other year after that. Here are some of the highlights from our every-other-year Thanksgiving/Christmas get together :)
^^^My nephews Jack and Parker or should I say Peter Parker 1 and Peter Parker 2?^^^
^^^Making gingerbread houses with the kids.^^^
^^^Mary and Auntie Kendra.^^^
^^^Get a load of that sweet face!^^^
^^^Everyone gathered together for gift giving and decorating the christmas tree. Can I just say my sister Marie is gorgeous? Glad we got a close up :) ^^^
^^^Aubrey and Ashely opening gifts from grandma and grandpa.^^^

^^^Hooray for gift giving!^^^
^^^Mom and dad got me all of the Jane Austen movies...NBD :) ^^^
