Cousins

This year for Christmas break we were very excited our family from Washing was able to come. Usually my parents are here for Christmas but they had to go to Hawaii for my niece's wedding. We were so sad not to have them here but when we found out Daniels brother Cliff and his family were going to fly out all was well.


All the kids. Sophie, Maggie, Betsy, Adam, Carson, Simon, Logan, and Cate.


Most of our time was snacking or doing some kind of craft.


We all fell in love with Betsy.



Adam didn't even mind when decided to attack him.




Part of the gang.



For the first time ever I had enough people to play the pipe chimes. I have had these chimes in the attic for years and never used them. They were wrapped in news paper that was dated 1994. Needless to say I was pretty excited and the kids seemed to enjoy it too.





Simon tried to make his into a pan flute.




We even had to music to follow. After a we times through the song you could kind of tell what the tune was.






Daniel even joined in for a few songs.
This was all before we even had Christmas. I will post those pictures soon.

  1. I expect that old newspaper was The Southern Illinoisan. And was the music written out by me? Those chimes are fun! So glad you got them out.
