Osceola, NE

Obviously with all of our travels for Christmas, we hadn't had a chance to make it out to see Corey's grandma in Osceola yet. Grandma Ruth was patiently waiting for us this last weekend when we FINALLY made it out to see her -- in the middle of an ice storm!!!

We had such a nice time seeing everyone. We made it in time for lunch, and Corey's parents were already there. Corey's Aunt Kim and her two boys live just down the street from Ruth, and Corey's Uncle Michael lives in town as well. Corey's brother Kevin, and his new girlfriend, Jennifer, made the trip with us.

Just arriving! Grandma Ruth is busy greeting her great-granddaughter and can't be bothered for pictures yet :) Corey's dad and uncle are busy holding down the couch!!!
The men hang out in the living room -- Addie is an honorary member :)

Grandma Ruth sits down to visit with Corey and Addisen.

But Addie is off and running!!! Good luck keeping up.

Addie has already found toys.

Kevin found toys for himself, too!

Aunt Kim brought presents!!!

Luckily Addie still remembers how to open these!

Kim tries to hold Addie still -- don't think it's gonna happen!

So Grandma decides to help!

Grandma & Kim help Addie -- but I think she's got it under control.

Oh, she found a corner -- it won't be long now.

There it goes!!!

Now she's got it!

Guess what it is?!? It's pink!

It's a brand new princess blanket!

Can you see her smile? I think she likes it!

Grandpa likes it too :)

Grandpa Bob and Addisen settle in for a nap.

But Addie's ready for more presents!

She found Tastefully Simple stuff for mom to make for her!

Thank you Aunt Kim!

Well, at least Grandpa is going to get a nap!!! Doesn't he look good in pink?

It's time for Grandma to open presents!

She got a "Snow" sign -- like we need any more snow!

Uncle Michael and Addie playing with the blocks.

Addie's teaching him how to stack them!

We went over to Aunt Kim's to see the dog.... and found a few cookies missing!

Looks like Spot (the dog) got hungry while we were gone :)

Oh well, there are still plenty more to go around!

Caleb wanted to get in on the picture...

Spot... the infamous dog!

Isn't he a sweetie?!? Who could stay mad at a face like that???

Corey playing with the Wii

Becky's turn!

Now Kevin & Jennifer are taking a crack at it.

They REALLY got into it :)

Kevin & Corey get into some friendly sibling rivalry!!!

Corey won... fyi

Even Kim came to show us how it's done!
