Christmas 2015

Lots of fun being back in Lafayette for Christmas and the New Year. Mom and Dad were champs for letting us and the kids take over the house for a week. It rained a lot and we did not see the sun the entire time but between puzzles, Home Alone movies, gun fights, cooking, Buccaneer Bay, Whiskey Bobs, clothes shopping, and playing we were able to stay busy. 

Dad looking unphased as Jeff, David, Jody, Amy, Darcy and I head out for a grown-up dinner and he is left in charge.

Emerson and Emily entertained us with all of their funny faces. 

Emmy doing her best Macaulay Culkin Home Alone impersonation. 

Dad set-up a "home office" with some old key boards and phones, always a big hit with the kids. 

Anne impressed us with her reading. 

Jeff, David, and I engaged in some intense puzzling.
