Christmas 2015

Another year and another fabulous Christmas vacation.  We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at Grandma and Grandpa Carlson's house.  There were so many presents, we wondered if we would fit everything in our car.






After some exhausting fun with the Baird cousins, we shoveled a path, packed up and traveled to Grandma and Grandpa Ward's house for New Year's.  Minions, anyone?


Once we arrived, we made several attempts to get a picture with all the Ward cousins, but it proved to be a difficult task. 




Nevertheless, there was a lot of cousin love,


and there was even a glow-stick tubbie...

Here's to a promising 2016!
