2 years ago my sisters and I decided that instead of buying my mom specific gifts for Christmas, we'd plan a trip or event to all do together (Mom, Mary, Katie, me and all the kids). The first year we went to the "Women of Faith" conference in Cleveland, and had a great time! This year we went to Pigeon Forge, TN and had a cabin in the mountains. It was awesome! Mare had discussion questions for us to answer (do you know about your mom's first kiss? I know about my mom's, now!), the cousins played together and wore out their grandma (she said she needed a nap after the weekend was over!), and we all had a fun time just being together :) I can't wait to do another trip next year!

| pretty sure she's pinching him here ;) |
 |
| We realized, after taking this shot (and the many many others that didn't turn out!) that Maya, Charlotte and Jacob are spaced almost exactly the same as my sisters and I were. I don't know how my mom did it! |

| We stopped at a flea market on our way back because Milo was pretty well done with the car. It turned out to be an old drive-in movie theater, so the kids got to run around, too. Two birds, one stone. Boom. |

| We celebrated Maya's birthday as a surprise for her. I captured her face right as she realized why we were singing "Happy Birthday" <3 |
