This year it was in Oklahoma and I was so glad I was able to work it out to attend. Unfortunately, because we were going on vacation with Eric's family the next week, he wasn't able to get the time off to go with us. With it only being 4 hrs away plus my new sweet minivan, I figured I could handle things on my own!
We had the traditional white elephant gift exchange, the kids got several rounds of Bingo in, I got to go on a couple (extremely hilly) runs with my cousins and Kelton went out tubing in the lake.
When it was time to head home, we drug our feet as long as possible, but it still felt too soon. All three kids were in tears and I wanted to cry too, but my heart was happy to see them making some of the same great memories that I have. Six years is too long and we left with promises not to go that long again.
I didn't get many pictures, but this one is great! We had a count down of kids from age 10 all the way down to 2. They all played really well together and we had such a great time. I can't help but wonder what my Nana would think of this bunch. I also wonder if enough time will ever go by that I don't get a lump in my throat and watery eyes when I think of her. I miss her so much.

Looks like you and the kids had fun! It's always fun to see family that you haven't seen in a while.
