We were blessed to be able to spend a portion of the holiday season in 70 degree weather with Regan's family.
If you've been following this blog for a while you know that Regan's parents like to do some sort of competition mirroring a recent game or reality TV show. This year it was Minute to Win It.
In this picture we were to put the cans in order of how many mini-bells were in each can. It is harder than it sounds for sure.
Here is Brooklyn shaking her booty trying to get all of the ornaments to fall out of the box.
The object of this game was to blow the cards to the end of the table only allowing one side of the card to hang off the edge.
Regan was the only one to accomplish this task.
We also participated in a fun family volleyball game. Surprisingly, this was one of our favorite activities we did all week. If you look close you will be able to see my mother-in-law looking "street." She is totally trying to look intimidating while flashing the peace sign upside-down. Awesome.
I'm not sure how this is the only picture I got of these two because they were inseparable the whole entire time. I love that Brooklyn is old enough to play with her cousins. She had a blast with all of them.
On Christmas eve I was thinking how it didn't feel like Christmas to me. I know it's not all about the presents, tree, decorations, and snow, but they really do add to the spirit of Christmas. Right as I was thinking that Regan's brother walked in the door carrying this perfect little Christmas tree. I'll be honest. I choked up. I was so excited that we would have a tree on Christmas.
It's hard to see but this is Brooklyn admiring the tree. She was SO excited to help decorate it.
Brooklyn was totally excited with her dishes and play food. She kept trying to feed me the meatloaf (which was actually the hamburger patty) all day. Little did she know what was waiting for her at home.
A kitchen!
We had a very Merry Christmas. Thanks Brad and Marianne for a great trip!
