Whew... christmas has already started for the Reedells...

With only another 9 days till the "real christmas day" the Reedells are already done one celebration. This past sunday, we got together at Scott's aunt Joanne's house with the family to celebrate the holiday. This was mostly because Scott's brother (Keith) and his family came up from Florida, so we could all spend some family time together. Everyone had a great time together, and the kiddos LOVED all of their new toys.

And we were VERY lucky this time and had the opportunity to spend even MORE time with Keith, Jen, and our nephews (Aidan and Evan) because they stayed overnight at our new house. It was wonderful to get to know those two little guys... and I know we can't wait to see them again too!! The cutest part was the Elyse and Evan were buds almost immediately. They spent ALOT of time playing, swinging and just babbling between themselves... just tooo cute!!! Scott's dad went into the hospital on monday morning for stomach surgery (keep him in your thoughts if you could for a speedy recovery....), so Scott and Keith went up to the hospital to meet up with their mom, and so Jen, the kiddos (all four of them....) and I had the day to ourselves. They all got along as well as could be expected, we took a nice trip to a park because of the 60 degree temps, and then all four even took naps at the same time... it was peaceful at least for a few minutes.

Then after dinner they all packed up and headed south... and should be home later today!!! So, it was a GREAT visit, and we can't wait to see them again!!! I know Angela is already asking, "when are Aidan and Evan going to sleep over again"... and Elyse babbles "evan"... quite frequently...

And as expected, here are some pics.... ok, a bunch.... enjoy!!!
