It was still Christmas for us on Tuesday night the 27th. We gathered in Pella for an evening with my mom's family. This would be the Van Wyk gathering on my mom's side, not to be confused with the Van Wyk gathering on my dad's side.
Another wonderful evening of food (this family knows how to throw a potluck!), fellowship with cousins I only see once or twice a year (Facebook doesn't count) and the kids had a great time playing with second cousins their own age.
Eliza and Kate playing with Eliza's pop beads.
Emmet and I played ping pong.
Ephraim playing Mexican Dominoes with Uncle Marv, Uncle Bob and Grandpa. Ephraim says he won one game.
Evan and Emmet playing fooseball.
Michaela, Eden, Reed & Eliza playing football.
Oh, it was a wonderful time and wish that we could have stayed longer, but alas, it was way past bedtime for the kiddos.--we were still the last ones to leave! And the party was concluded with a bit of a chicken bag exchange--Peggy gave me a couple of cute chicken feed sacks to make into bags for her. Who knew they had the cutest chicken feed bags in Minnesota?
