Family Trip Stateside

From end of November until the middle of January we were in the US visiting with family and friends. Here are a bunch of pics from our time. It was a good visit but hard to leave behind our son!

 We had a few times of getting together families. These are all the cousins on Jennifer's side.

 These are the cousins on Ben's side.

Mama Jane got lots of snuggle time with Grace, well at least as much as Grace permits.

We tried to take advantage of the nicer days and visit the park. (No parks or libraries in Guatemala so we always make good use of those while visiting)

 Spending some time with these crazies! Taylor and addison my brothers girls.

We spent some time in VA with our friends Kim and also Tom and Cindy (which I apparently did not get any pics of) and many others.

This is us with Allison who interned with us and has become like a daughter.

The boys got some snow to play in. We built igloos, snowmen and went sledding.

Graces' first birthday party. We did not get many good pics.

Of course the boys had to see star wars. We got to meet some friends from Guatemala in Ft Wayne and watch it together and was a good time!

Christmas with Ben's side of the family...never a dull moment.

Levi's new ride.

We were happy that my aunt and uncle came for a visit from OH. Also Aunt Celeste and Uncle Dan came to visit but we did not apparently get any pics of their visit.

 We were able to get away as a family for a few nights to an indoor waterpark. It was fun!
