Texas Family

My brother and his family came and visited for a week just a few days after Christmas. This time was extra special because it was the first time we were able to meet our beautiful 2 month old niece Isla. She is a great little baby and really only cried when she was hungry or super tired. It was so fun to see the cousins interact and play now that they are all getting a little bit older. Marek is the oldest at 3, then comes Knox who just turned 2 in November, and little McKenna who is 17 months old. Most of our days were spent playing downstairs in our play room with the kiddos, but we did manage to get in the whole second season of Homeland while the kids were napping and sleeping. An amazing accomplishment I must say! I so wish the week wouldn't have blown by so quickly! Marek spent the  days after they had gone back home talking up a storm about Knox (he really misses his little buddy)! Hopefully we can make a trip up to see them at the beginning of summer!

We started off by opening presents. Marek wanted to open everyones, and Knox and McKenna were not really that interested at all! :)

 
 
 
 Poor Isla...covered in her daddy's presents! :)
 
We took Kyle, Stacie and Knox on a sledding expedition. Since they live in Texas Knox has virtually no snow gear, so he had to borrow some of McKenna's! He was decked out in her purple snow suit which was in fact a little tight. It was pretty funny. He was a trooper! Although I think he enjoyed the hot chocolate when he got home much better then his first sledding experience.
 
 
 
 
 
Midway through the week we decided to take the kids to the Mobius Children's Museum. They all had a really great time. This was the first time Marek and McKenna had been there too! I definitely think we will be going back soon!
 
 
 
 
 
Of course we left the family photo for the last day! I think it turned out pretty cute! We miss you guys already!!!
