Kevin in Argentina!

Kevin's trip to Argentina was amazing! They toured vineyards, ate incredible food, drank great wine, and went on some exciting outings.





There were 17 wine geeks from various parts of the USA touring together.

One highlight was white water rafting along the Andes Mountains. The tour guide on Kevin's boat is a woman who lives half the year in Colorado and half the year in Argentina (for rafting season). She's the only female licensed rafting instructor in Argentina.

Christmas in Michigan

The trip to Michigan was a great one. The highlight was meeting the newest addition to the family, Gabryelle Elise, who was born on Nov. 18. That makes 8 grandkids for my parents, 4 girls and 4 boys. The first picture is of my brother, Mike, holding Gabby for the first time. He is such an awesome uncle!

Above is my dad holding two of his granddaughters, Ella Jane and McKenna; both girls (and all the kids) are just crazy about their Papa! We attempted to get a picture of all 8 grandchildren, not the easiest feat. The grandkids from oldest to youngest: Christopher (14), Isabelle (8), Jack (7), Parker John (3), Patrick (3), McKenna (22 months), Ella Jane (16 months), Gabby (6 weeks).
Isabelle, my mom, and I got the chance to go downtown to see "Wicked", the musical. It was my second time, but mom's and Isabelle's first time. We went with our friends Audrey and Becky. It was great! As much as I loved the show I also loved watching Isabelle enjoy the theater expereince.

Christmas!

We had a very nice Christmas morning. It's always my favorite part of the whole Christmas season. I love the excitement, the bedhead, and the staying in pajamas past noon! The kids really seemed to enjoy the whole thing too.

Christmas Evening we headed to Grandma's and Grandpa's house. Isabelle got a guitar, which was so exciting for her! The middle picture is of Isabelle and Jack with their cousin, Shelby. Ella Jane wore a beautiful Christmas dress from Grandma.
