And a Happy New Year!

For New Year's, we went to my aunt's house in Illinois. It was really fun having all of the cousins and their kids together. The family keeps getting bigger! We celebrated the New Year with everyone by playing games all night long! Here is my mom and her sister with Dylan and Madeline. They love to read books!

Lauren's still eating the paper! We should have just given her some paper for Christmas!
While we were in Illinois, we got to visit with my dad's mom. Here is Dylan and Lauren with their great grandma.
My lovely grandparents! Grandma fell last year and broke her hip. When she went in for the hip replacement surgery, she never made it out. She has been in the nursing home in Monticello by my grandpa. We are so grateful that she is doing well! The nursing home will drive them places for a few hours, so she went to her house to see all of us! We had a wonderful time with them.

Four generations! (Can you tell we are all related?)
Great grandpa had a wonderful time with Lauren! He even got down on the floor to play with her!
Lauren grabbed the wind chime that hangs down from the fan. She was even strong enough to turn the fan on! I didn't know that she was such a strong little girl!

Thanks to everyone for a wonderful holiday season! We had a great time and look forward to seeing everyone again soon! Love ya!
