The Post Christmas Family Weekend

We had a great weekend spending time with some family that we hadn't seen in a while! It was terrific getting to see and spend time with them. Love them so much.

Saturday brought time with Los Schlarbs. Mr. B's brother, his beautiful wife Yana and their two amazing children. We visited, feasted on BBQ chicken, scalloped potatoes and cornbread, exchanged gifts and witnessed a nerf/marshmallow war.

It's funny how my hubs and his brother don't necessarily look alike but together with their sons, you cannot deny they are family. Elisha is such a good big cousin to JT and JT really looks up to him.

 Sure do love these gals. I met Naima when she was just a year old. I babysat her when she was HeaBug's age. I taught her about purses and chap stick. She was the flower girl at our wedding and the apple of her Uncle Bobby's eye. We love her so much and we are so proud of the beautiful young lady she has become.

 
 They were able to open their presents from GK and Papa Ron.

My Uncle Ron and his family were down here in Southern California on a holiday. My Aunts' cousin is marching with her band in the Rose Parade so they came to to support her. We were excited to get together in real life, thanks to Facebook, we're able to keep in touch and know what's going on in our lives and with our families. Cousins were fast friends and had lots of fun playing outside. They didn't even stop when it started pouring rain!

 Dancing in the rain!

 Cousins.
No respectable rain play would be complete without hot cocoa to warm up.

It was a great visit and a great weekend. Filled with people we love.
