Christmas in Maine

Despite the blizzard that blanketed the East Coast in snow, we were able to visit our family in Maine over winter break!  As always, it was a full house....it was so good to see everyone!

We had a late Christmas celebrate upon arrival on Dec 28th.


Allie (our niece)

Katy & Jordan...the newly engaged couple who will be getting married the summer of 2012!  We can't wait :)

Think this kid needs any more presents?


Jacob was excited to get a new Huskers sweatshirt

Skyler (Jacob's youngest sister)

Maverick was a little under the weather...he was running a fever for a few days, probably from airplane germs.  He bounced back quickly though!

Look how cute Maverick's little snowman socks are :)


Mitchell LOVED playing with Greyson (his cousin).....indoors and outdoors!






Amber (sister-in-law) is Queen of the kitchen.  Cooking, cleaning, you name it.  You rarely find her anywhere else! :)

We had a little birthday celebration for Mitchell, so Maverick helped me whip up a dinosaur cake

Everyone needs help cleaning the mixer


Skyler officially submitted her 10 college applications while we were there.  We're so excited to find out where she chooses!

Our niece Allie made use of her Christmas present (Kindle)

Connor, Jacob's younger brother helped entertain Mitchell on the trip!

Greyson loving on his Aunt Skyler

Some birthday party action :)

Grandpa Folks was good at pairing wine with all of our meals.  He also took Mitchell to see Yogi Bear the movie...which Mitchell LOVED. 

Greyson and his Uncle Connor

Reading a book with Grammy

The boys were GREAT on the flights!  Here they are wrestling a bit on our return flight back to Kansas City.

All in all, it was a wonderful trip.  We enjoyed getting to spend lots of quality time with family!  David and Diane go through so much work to host everyone and we really appreciate it!
