The last time we celebrated the holidays with Jeff's extended family in PA was when Gracie was a newborn! We were way overdue! So, the day after Christmas we packed up the car and headed out for a fun extended weekend with family.
The kids had been praying for snow to play in leading up to our trip. Thankfully the day we drove up they got 4" of snow, which we were able to play in the next day. The kids had a blast!!!
Of course it takes a ton of time getting five little ones all bundled up to play!
All that extra weight is hard to hold up!
I think Luke, Ben and Gracie would have stayed outside all day if possible. Jacob and Caleb did not last very long in the cold.
Friday evening we got to spend time with some of the Morgan side of the family. Here are most of the Morgan side cousins, although I think we are missing four!
Gracie loved the older girl cousins Kaylin and Anna. Anna taught Gracie how to take pictures with her i-phone and Gracie became a pro!
Poor Ian broke a bone in his knee sledding that AM!
This visit we were able to stay in a really nice efficiency type apartment that was just renovated. It was perfect for our family so we did not have to stay in two hotel rooms.
Since it was a one bedroom apartment the oldest four slept on sleeping bags in the living room.
On Saturday we celebrated with all the Shirey side of Jeff's family.
Here is Great-Grandpa Shirey with all of his Great-Grandkids!
We had a great visit in Pennsylvania! Hopefully it will not be four years before we can do it again!

I love all their Christmas jammies, and the fact that they got to play in the snow! Looks like you had all the right clothes to bundle them up to venture out, but wow, must've taken forever to get them dressed and undressed!! What a wonderfully large family you have. (So good to see you Sunday, though I wish my mom didn't have this nasty sinus infection)
