Hoosier Holidays!

 We were so fortunate to have ALL the Metheny fam come home for a holiday reunion after Christmas!  SO MUCH FUN was had!  Hours and days of playing, laughing, visiting, and bonding closer.  It's pretty amazing that my parents can host everyone and all can make the effort to come.  Always a cherished time!

We had a big Christmas gift exchange.  It's pretty sweet to watch all of the cousins delight in giving their gift to one other cousin (Beth is the organizer of the gift exchange each year, letting everyone know who they will give to.  My parents have a special stocking for EVERY single person.  They spoil us, for sure!)

The cousins had to line up youngest to oldest to come open their stockings!









Talent Show--



Video of the cousins beginning their talent show.  Holly made a great MC!

Children's Museum--



Kid City--




This was the cutest exchange between Grandpa and Clara with him trying to teach her how to shoot a basketball.  She was in heaven!



Grammie Tea Party--

ALL the kids are always anticipating Grammie's special tea parties! Mini-size everything, especially the mugs they drink from, just darling!  Older cousins love being servers.  Holly even designed a menu for this one!





Ezra experiencing the tea party in cat ears, haha!  I didn't get any pictures of it, but there was a LOT of dress-up play!  Kate, Clara, Rosie, Ezra and Tori played kitties quite often and always came around dressed up from Grammie's bins.

Hangin' at the house--

Ezra and Clara were THRILLED for a chance to hold brand new baby cousin Tyler!

Pretty cute having two toddlers, Livi and Annelise running around!

Ezra and Rosie are two funny peas-in-a-pod cousins!  Born just 20 days apart.

Eli, Ben and Noah spent most of their time as the three amigos!




David didn't mind joining in on laser tag games.



David took family photos of everyone after church when we were already dressed up.  Good thinking, Mom!






Love my family!  Sure grateful for opportunities to gather.
