Tyce and Shay were spoiled with some great handmade gifts including a book from aunt Nancy (with some help from cousin Jill :); adorable sweaters from aunt Peggy and hats from Oma; and mittens, a scarf and headband warmer from aunt Carol. Aunt Joyce also got them a special gift of honorable donations to World Concern including a year of learning for a child and a family vegetable garden in an under-served area of the world.
My cousin, Mike, giving Tyce some pointers on playing the guitar:
The kids had a blast in the playroom with the Irvine family....here's my Aunt Peggy, Uncle Steve and Cousin Jill doing a Michael Jackson dance competition on the Wii:
We all had such a great time with the Burke, Irvine and Letcher families. Growing up, I have celebrated almost every Christmas at the Irvine's house and it's so great to be able to continue making memories there with my own children. Tyce and Shay had such a fun time that they didn't want to leave!
Thanks, again, Peg and Steve for always welcoming us with love! And to all my aunts: Nancy, Joyce, Carol and Peggy... thank you for always being so supportive and loving to me and now also my family. You mean more to me and have impacted my life more than you know. I love you all!!
