Christmas with the Cousins (part II)


A long awaited visit from Adam and Rebecca finally came to fruition in late December. They have been missionaries in southeast Asia for the last 2 1/2 years and while we are so proud of them and their commitment & courage, we have missed them dearly.
While they were gone, they added a precious little boy to the family named Keenan. He is beautiful and so full of life.


Everyone was doing well and we picked up as if they had never been gone. We all took as much of Keenan in as possible. He loved playing with all the kids. He also had this adorable wink he did each time I took his picture.


We played cards and a new game that Adam brought along called "Settlers". It was difficult to pick up at first but the fellowship was so fun! To add to the merriment, Aunt Becky gave Corbyn a nail polish set. She and Corbyn carefully selected a pattern to apply to her feet and then the pedicures began.



One of the highlights of the evening was when Elijah chose to have his toenails done as well. He was so cute. He went in the living room and asked Tracy if he could have some money to get his nails done. He then had Becky paint his toes blue with lightning bolts. I couldn't help myself - I took as many pictures as possible. I even took one on my cell phone and immediately sent it to David at work. Mom's house phone rang within 10 seconds of the message being sent - it was hilarious! Tracy watched it all go down with reluctance. Adam summed it all up by saying that this could only happen to a Florida fan!
