Relatives, relatives and more relatives!

Uncle Ed was so sweet with the kids. He gave them PICKLES, yes, HUGE jars of PICKLES! And he spoiled them the whole time we were there. There's been MUCH mention of Uncle Ed since we came home! Thanks, Uncle Ed - TIO ABUELO - for being such a super uncle!

Don and Jill, Ed and Betty Jo's oldest. They came with their daughter Lanae who's 15 and son Dallas, who is younger (I don't know how old he is!). They also have a son Tyler (17) who we didn't see.

Jimmy and Mia and their growing family! Jimmy is John and Paula's oldest son. Hunter, Owen, Sierra and Taya. Taya is just 9 days younger than her cousin Faith.

Quite the contrast, right? From right to left: Kris, Christopher (Fusser to us who love him!), Don and Uncle John! Don and Fusser are Ed and Betty Jo's boys. Their brother Matt and his family were out of town, sorry we missed them.

Dave and Pat, Ken's sister and hubby, were also out of town, visiting their children in Atlanta. We were really sorry to miss seeing them! Maybe next time, you guys!

And the climax of our visit - the HOT TUB! Wow! What fun! Yes, it's outside on the deck and yes, it's cold out there! See the snow?? Unfortunately we only had time for ONE visit to the hot tub, but it was worth it! So much fun!
