Weekend in Massachusetts

This weekend we went to Massachusetts.  We hadn't been since Thanksgiving so besides just seeing everyone, we also celebrated late Christmas!

Enjoying the sunhine

Hi cutie!

Aaron opening his Christmas gift

It was a really cook buckle toy from Mimi and Grandpa.  Perfect because Aaron loves buckles!

All of the kids got really cool tops from Kim and Jeff; here they are spinning together

Cam was excited about new Legos

And Leah was ecstatic about her Anna costume!

Ella helping Aaron with his top

Leah and Ella decided to go out and play.  It was chilly but bright and the sledding hill was calling them!

Weeeeee!!  I love the look on Leah's face, she is having so much fun!

The rest of the kids saw the fun they were having and decided to join in

Uh oh, watch out for Leah!

He ducks under her sled...

....and recovers!  Good work Cam!

Backwards sledding, what a goofball

 Happy girls love playing outside

Everyone came inside and had some hot cocoa to warm up.  I love this picture of Leah and Lucia.

All of the other pictures were at Kim's house, where everyone went for the day on Saturday.  We stayed in Swansea with Mimi and Grandpa though.  Here is Aaron at his favorite spot in the house - at the window, up on the stool, watching the birds visit the bird feeder.  It was so cute, he got so excited every time a bunch of birds showed up.  He watched for a long time.

Christmas in MA, Part 3 - Christmas Day

We woke up on Christmas morning and headed up to the Borsts' house to celebrate.  Cameron, Leah and Aaron were so excited to get to Millis to celebrate with Jack and Ella.

He's a cute one, my boy

And this one, also adorable

Hi Joan!

Nice picture of Kim... Nice duck lips from Jeff

The Oliver Family!  What a great family picture.

Snuggles with Daddy

Jack is surprised by something.  His surprise certainly isn't coming from the fact that Uncle Tim is taking a picture of him.

My sweet Christmas elf

Mimi and Grandpa show off a great Christmas gift that they received.

Pile on Auntie Kim!

We had a wonderful dinner, as always.  Kim always makes us delicious appetizers and food!  Later into the evening we drove home so that we could have Christmas at our house the next morning.  It was a great time in Massachusetts for Christmas!

Christmas in MA, Part 2 - Christmas Eve in Swansea

On Christmas Eve, we had a great time with the whole family hanging out at Mimi and Grandpa's house.  We spent the afternoon hanging out together, then headed to Christmas Eve church, then back to the house for dinner and more hanging out.  It was a wonderful, relaxed Christmas Eve.

After church and dinner, it was time for one of Tim's favorite Christmas traditions - lighting the spinning angel candles.  Leah and Lucia were very interested in it.
