Random cute pictures from our trip to St Louis!

The kids loved their Uncle Dougie!!

Uncle Blake and Aberlee

Aunt Kristin and Kate

It snowed!!  Kate did four laps around the house!  And she was not a fan of snowballs!

Kate was so happy to see the cats!!  One of the cats hissed at us all the time, but Kate didn't care!  She still loved them both!  Here she is with Lexi who was super great with the kids!

Oh Alex!  He loves to say cheese for the camera!

Kate loves her Uncle Dougie

Me feeding my niece Aberlee

OH she just loves Uncle Dougie!

Making and decorating Christmas cookies is a tradition I have added to the Abernety's yearly Christmas traditions!  Kate even decorated a few!  She loved it!

We had a really great time in St Louis.  Unfortunately it seemed like everyone got sick while we were there.  I'm pretty sure  everyone got sick from us!  Aberlee did have a cold while we were there and poor Kristin and Blake last some sleep because of it!  We ended up with Kate sleeping in our room, Alex in the sewing room so Aberlee could go back in her room.  She ended up having double ear infections when she went in for her 9 month appointment a few days after Christmas, poor baby.  But you would have never known that she was sick--she is such a HAPPY baby!  She reminded me so much of Kate when she was a baby!  She was so happy just sitting on the floor playing, just like Kate was at that age.  It's hard for me to believe that Alex at that age was almost walking!  It's so crazy how different kids are!

Also everyone seemed to be playing Words with Friends with everyone else.  We watched a ton of movies and just hung out around Kristin's house mostly.  It is so different now with 3 babies!!  We also took family photos one day with the kids in matching outfits!  I can't wait to see those!

We are considering going to Cozumel for Christmas next year.  We will see!

We hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year!
