Dec 24 to 28 was a full house and WE LOVED EVERY MINUTE!!
We were lucky to have Chris, Jennifer, Timothy, Katelin, Macey, Matthew, Jolee and Julia visit from Dubai!
I had actually only met Jennifer once, we became Facebook friends and seriously, our families hit it off famously. (Ruben knew Chris and Jennifer in college days plus we know Jennifer's family) Felt like we'd known each other for ages. We have the Americans living abroad in common plus other things and of course the most important thing in common, our faith. Love that!
What we did... Special Meetings in Limmerick, tour of Galway downtown, Cliffs of Moher, lots of games, lots of food and conversation, and we parents even got a double date night! We skipped Christmas turkey dinner and had a big yummy Mexican enchilada feast made by Ruben on the 26th.
Jolee and Madelynne hit if off big time, they were inseperable, so cute! Having 6 kids to entertain our 3 was amazing, barely saw them! :)
Only problem now... we have a bucket list of places to visit and Dubai has been added and it will have to be while this amazing family is there! Hope they were serious about their invite! :)
I have to say I was a bit sad about our first Christmas as a family not with either side of our families, but didn't feel that way at all, once our company arrived. It was grand! Thanks for coming y'all!

How fun to see both of your families having such a good time together! But what's most impressive is that your dining room table is large enough to accommodate all bakers' dozen of you at one time. . .wow!!
