New Years in Emporia

We were home in Kansas City for one day before heading to Emporia to hang with the Koch family to celebrate Christmas. It is always craziness with 2 parents, 6 kids, 5 spouses, 9 grand kids and 1 aunt celebrating. That is a grand total of 23 with my immediate family. We love every minute of the craziness! :)

Sam sleeping by grandma on New Years Eve!
Luke joined in on the game of Life with Aunt Betsy, Cousin Chase and Emily! He loved it and announced he won in the middle of the game.

Our serious game player.

Andy and I worked on this puzzle. We finished it with Betsy's help at 11:30 am on New Years Eve! It was just in time for 2011!
