Family in Town!

On Wednesday we drove to St Louis to pick up my sister and brother in law and brother Andrew.

Here we are excited to be on our way!

Elijah was excited to see them too.

He said "When Andy gets here it will be like i have a big brother!"

Crystal and Andy's flight arrived about 1pm but my brother Andrew's bus wasn't arriving until later that evening so we hung out at the mall for a while.

There was this beautiful carousel in the mall!

The boys loved it!
I love Ethan's face in this one!



Elijah and I.

Fun!

Once the mall closed we drove to the arch but it was too dark to take a photo so here's one of the well lite up old court house instead.

It got so icy that night that Andrew's bus was two hours late. Then it took us two extra hours to make it home. So a three hour drive turned into a five hour ordeal. We didn't arrive home until 5am Thursday morning! We're thankful we made it home in one piece unlike others we passed on those icy roads!

Crystal and Andy were only here for a couple days but we managed to fit in a photo shoot!

Mom and Dad arrived Friday afternoon so we had an early family Christmas since we were all together. (for one evening)

Ethan got some new books from Grandma which he thrilled his little book loving heart. =)

Our Family

Enjoy your weekend!
