Christmas, with no Santa?

Yesterday we got together for an extended family BBQ in lieu of the December gathering. The holiday season proves to be quite busy and settling on a day that suits most was usually difficult, so we have a BBQ in June instead. It was so much fun! Most everyone made it out, even both of the week old babies! and since the weather held we had a ton of fun playing horseshoes, chatting, going for a wagon ride and running around with the kids.

Emily still in her dress, signing the juice is all gone.
