We won’t be able to be in Cincinnati for Christmas this year, but we did get up this weekend and got to have dinner (thanks to Grandma) with a lot of the family. The kids were thrilled as always to see their cousins, and as an added bonus, Boomer and Bucky came, too. Here are some of the few pictures I took:

We went to Michelle and Bradford’s birthday party at a laser tag place. The kids really had a lot of fun shooting each other, and the parents seemed to like shooting their kids, too:

Here’s the official picture:

And here are our past Christmas cards:
