Here are lots of pictures of our wonderful Christmas in Philly! It was great to be with the family, although I think we all realized that being under one roof for 9 days was a little long. We are a big group now of 18 people!! The kids had the time of their lives though! The boys played so well together. They loved being together, and all the fun toys at Grandad and Grandmom's house. Alexandra, the newest member, is so beautiful and precious. She was baptized on the 26th, which was so nice to all be there. Matthew's parents and two of his siblings were there, as well. We had a beautiful trip, and thankfully beautiful weather, too. We thoroughly enjoyed playing outside whenever we could. While we were in the woods in the back yard, Freddy turned to me and said, "Mom, there is no winter here!!" I explained to him that Philly does get snow, but we all enjoyed a little break from the MN cold.
Although, we are very happy to be home. Thank you Mom and Dad for everything!!!
