We enjoyed Christmas with Justin's family last week. Kale got in lots of play time with the cousins and is even starting to remember their names, which is pretty fun. The cousin closest in age is Tate, and he and Kale played well together.
Meal time is always a bit chaotic with 9 grandkids. We were joking that the kitchen table is soon not going to be able to hold them all! The adults sat in the adjacent dining room where we enjoyed meatballs, potatoes, corn, salad and lefse.
Our little musician was thrilled with the gifting of another guitar and a microphone on a stand from Auntie Alyssa and Uncle Todd. In fact, the microphone was a hit with many of the other kids who all took turns singing their hearts out!
The grandkids all received a headlamp from G&G too. It was quite funny watching them all run around the basement with their little lights a shinin'.
The 4 SILs.
Oldest brother Eric and his family.

After gift opening, dancing commenced...
with one little singer in the middle of the dance party.
The rest of the "outlaws" :) I think we need to have an "outlaw" picture next year in addition to the sib picture. What do you say Ang, Todd and Cori Ann??? :)
We made it to one of Nate's basketball practices at the local high school. Justin got to play while Kale and I explored the school and watched practice.
And Christmas wouldn't be complete without a visit to Grandma Mabel. Notice Kale is getting the "fake smile" down pat.
Justin also took Kale on a date to the farm. He enjoyed many a tractor.
And Kale even did okay with being accidentally locked in the car for 25 minutes. He kept calm, according to Papa, only saying "Kale get out!" a few times!
The ride home was pretty quiet with our little napper. Think he was Christmased out!
Happy 2013 everyone! May your year be blessed beyond your imagination!
