fun with family (part I)

We had such a wonderful christmas and new years! It was extra special because of all the family in town. First, Grammy and Grandpa came home from their mission in New York. We are so happy to have them home again! Then, a few days before Christmas, Dan's brother Andy and his family stopped by for a visit on their way to Florida. The kids haven't seen their zalit cousins in over three years!

on one of the days they were here we took them to the Battleship Texas and San Jacinto monument for some Texas history.

my brother Philip and sister Emily and her kids came along too. Uncle Philip is a big help with Lorelei
