Better late than never right? ha! Here are the pictures from our Hereford trip. With 7 boys and only two girls there had to be a game of football in there. I think this was a start of a new tradition with the boys. This is the very first "cousin football" game. It was so funny. Most of them are still too young to understand what to do. Landry had the ball at one time and he kept running in circles around a tree with all of them chasing him. Fun times. 
Kyndall, Lauren, Landry, Luke, Griffen, Cade, and Alex
Opening presents is always fun at Appy's house.
Lauren was excited to get some new American Girl clothes.
About 2 Christmas ago, my mom and dad pulled a good one on us! My dad had been telling me he bought my mom something REALLY nice that year. He wouldn't tell me but all of the clues made me believe she was getting a new car. (little did I know she was in on the secret) On Christmas day they loaded all of us up (brothers, sister in laws, and cousins) and drove us to a different part of town. They had bought a new house and didn't tell anyone that they were moving. Stinkers! What a shock it was to me because I grew up in this other house. I just never thought they would move but I was so HAPPY for them. It was a Christmas to remember. THEN this Christmas, my dad pulls me into his office and says watch your mother's eyes when she opens this up. Again, I thought he was pulling another joke on me. ha! He had bought her.....
a new wedding ring. It really was so sweet and special to see my parents "getting engaged again" as I call it. ha!
My mom cried (as the rest of us did too).
Ok, for the next bunch of pictures look out! Please tell me it isn't just my family who can't take a good group picture? There always seems to be a nut in the bunch (mainly Brett) or someones eyes closed. None the less, I look at these and smile. This is sooo my family. Funny, jokesters, and glad to be together.
See? I told you it is mainly Brett!
Aww...brothers! What do you do with them?
This poor group had no clue what they were marrying into. ha!
Chad, Brett, and me
Like I said, nut! 3L's your Uncle Moose is funny.
I look forward to seeing them again at Christmas next year. It is a shame we only get to see each other once a year. Maybe this year will be different.
