Family, Family, and more Family!

The day after Christmas, everyone starting flying in or driving in from out of state. Erik's sister and her husband and three kids drove straight through from Minnesota to Texas, as well as his parents Roger and Elaine. Carl's brother Bill and his wife and two daughters flew in from Michigan. Kil Choe also had a few friends who flew in or drove in from other areas.

It was a fun time seeing everyone. Since most of the people were family, they all ended up at our house (I should say, Kil Choe's house). We fixed lasagna, garlic bread, salad, and of course still had pumpkin pie, cookies and that delicious chocolate toffee bark. Oh, I almost forgot about the mini pecan muffins, which were gone before we knew it!

This is Kil Choe's condo. Her's is the one with the wreath on the door. :-) It's three stories and I didn't realize that going up and down those stairs was going to get to me. My legs were sore!

Here's Bill with a big smile on his face. He was having a great time that night!

Here is Erik's family. On the couch from L to R is baby Erin, Elaine (Erik's mom), Michelle (Erik's sister), Roger (Erik's dad), Todd (Michelle's husband), with Paige (or maybe Taylor). They have three daughters. :-) Ethan is totally excited has some new cousins!!

Here's all the kids playing Wii. Who knows what game they were playing. I just know they were having fun. :-) From L to R, Michael sitting, Aidan, Lauren, Ethan, Stephanie in background, Taylor, Paige, and Elaine holding Erin on the couch.
