and the cyber seventh...

did you know that it is possible to squeeze christmas into a teensy little package, bounce it along from server to server and stretch it so it can be enjoyed across 2000 miles?  we spent christmas via skype with my sister, lane, kaid, david & pete. it was the first christmas that we didn't spend washing dishes together, but i am very thankful i got to see them.  the kids went crazy-wild making faces and talking over one another and squealing and blocking each other.  i loved seeing all six cousins playing, even if it was on a screen. 

we love them and can not wait until we see each other again.







and yes,
i completely stole this picture from their christmas card.
