The last two weekends we finalized our 2008 Christmas celebration. Last weekend the Hughes family came out to celebrate with us and we were again, spoiled! Ethan's favorites were his toy phone and his alphabet mat! Uncle Breck gave him the mat and put it together spelling out "ethan rocks" as part of the mat..
We also just got back today from celebrating in Wisconsin Dells with my mom's whole side of the family. Honestly, it's just amazing how large our family is and it's so fun to get together with everyone. Amazingly this year, all but 2 people were able to make it. Total in our family is my Grandma, 13 aunts/uncles, 18 grandkids (with most of us being married/having signficant others) and the 9th great-grandchild on its way in May!! So, there were definitely over 50 people there..a few pics of the "chaos"..
Although Ethan's been around my family several times, he was definitely a shy boy during the entire event. He was sure a trooper though. He only slept an hour of the 3 hour drive up there and stayed up until 8pm before he CRASHED for the night!! Here's a few pics of the great-grandkids (minus 1 that didn't stay overnight in the hotel) - Ethan was not wanting me out of sight!!
A few family photos..
