Cross Christmas 2017!

I will mostly let the pictures speak for themselves here.

It was a wonderful time, as usual, even though Joe was unable to join us.

Evangeline stole many hearts, and the kiddos played their hearts out.

This year's best new tradition: Hours of ball games with Uncle Bruce!

Love, Us.

Flights for a MN Weekend

Many were amazed that we flew to MN for just a weekend, 

but Cross Christmas is absolutely worth it!

We learned that we much preferred a layover to the long flight.

But, the Librandi crew managed very well, considering.

  

Love, Us.

Family Photos

We took an evening in December to set up the camera on the table, 

set the timer, and snag some family photos.

I think we got some good ones!

Here is the one we ended up using in our "Annual" letter.

  

Love, Us.

Backyard Videos

The kids snagged the camera and recorded some video in the backyard in December.

Enjoy!

Love, Us.

We Will Start with Some Silliness

Don't be concerned.

Yes. We have been silent here for some time.

However, we are quite well.

Other priorities just got the best of us.

We will soon be caught up, though. 

Stay tuned.

I thought we'd start out with some silly kiddo pics.

Evangeline has become quite the dare devil/dangerous diva.

We like to refer to her as "Animal" (think the Muppets).

That nickname may have a lot to do with her crazy hair.

Romeo and Evangeline are great buddies. 

Sometimes Romeo even chooses to follow in Evangeline's steps.

And Evangeline has no qualms taking advantage of any situation.

To finish, here are Patrick using Evangeline as a mop.

Love, Us.
