Christmas with Ma/Pa

Christmas Eve we stopped by Ma and Pa's on the way to Indiana. As always we started out playing a game. I think this is called Tripoloy, it was lots of fun but took a long time to get the hang of it and then we had to leave. I love the fact that anytime we are together we play boardgames, so much fun and wonderful memories!

Brian got lights for his new cow trailer

Hunter got Bey blades...shocker

Hayley got colored socks. She has been in this stage of her life where if her socks match or match her outfit she will change them. She loves to be different and definitely marches to the beat of her own drum!

My package was so pretty I didn't wanna open it!!

I got some UK shirts!!

Chelsey has been living in Macau (Hong Kong) since August (and will be there until end of May)  she is SUPER smart (a McConnell scholar at UL) and landed this awesome job/experience of teaching English to students of another ethnicity. Well, we are spoiled and used to seeing her lots, so this has been a huge adjustment for all the Wethington's. Thank goodness for blogs, Skype, email and FB its been a little easier. She was on a 10 day break for Christmas and flew home...YIPPEE SKIPPY we all were so excited to see her!  She brought us back a box full of cool things: a beautiful bracelet, Macau candy, cool little doll house table/chair set, hand warmers and some other things that I am missing. It was so thoughtful.

It wasn't no time until Hayley and Chelsey were playing with all our new toys

This year things have been different, guess its just the growing pains of a close family. Regardless, we are SO blessed that we are able to spend time with our family, whether its a lot or a little,  and cherish those memories that we are able to make together. After all in the end, its family that really matters.
