New Year's at the Lyons

Grandpa and Maggie

The coolest Aunt ever!!!!

Kipp and his lil' buddy
Being able to hang out with my family in Southern Cal was a wonderful start to the New Year!!!! It was good to be able to wear flip flops again (in the middle of winter) and I so appreciated the days of pure sunshine!

A Very Bond Christmas

Family Pictures in the Park!!!!

Boys will be boys!!!!!

New Year's Resolution is for Aaron to keep his

eyes open for pictures. . .so far so good!!!

We spent this past Christmas in Kansas and had a wonderful time with the entire family. . .it was the first time all the brothers had been together (for Christmas) in 7 years!!!! It was such a blessing to have everyone there and our gift giving was extremely special this year: we each gave a gift card to someone else in the family AND THEN contributed money to a charity of our choice. It was so incredible to go around the room and hear what organization each individual had given to. . .just amazing!!!!
