Christmas in Pennsylvania

We spent two weeks in Pennsylvania with my family for Christmas, it was so awesome to see everyone and it has been two years since I have been there! We did not do a good job with getting good pictures... not even one with everyone in it. Its hard in the middle of all the chaos! Boy do I love these people though. We missed you so much Kevin! 



Pittsburgh
 All the cousins got to meet for the first time! Not the best picture, Rae had a 104 fever in this picture so she is excused. Johannes and Acadia - no excuse! 


 Tanner and Rae were so cute together, this picture really sums up their personalities nicely. 



Caitlin is home from her mission!!! I love her so much and miss her so so much. 


Rae had a second try at Santa's lap. This time we set her down with Tanner and for a minute (when this picture was taken) I think she thought she was just on a big comfy couch with her cousin, shortly after she realized there was a Santa there too and don't worry she started crying like expected. 


Holidays and family is a lot of work and we (even more so my parents!) were worn out by the end of the trip but in the middle of all the chaos is where my heart is. In the middle of that tiny house with lots of people, shouting babies, leaking toilets and spilled hot chocolate is my heart. 

And we missed our Ellis family and all their chaos! My heart is in the middle of that mess too. Somewhere between the cafeteria (kitchen) clean up and singing every Christmas song Kyla knows how to play. 

I hope everyone had a great Christmas!
