Merry Christmas everyone. This has been a wonderful day so far for our family.
Even though I couldn't get a nice picture of all the kids together, I wasn't going to let that get me down.
We had breakfast at Aunt Barbs ... that's a tradition
Nela got an Elmo
Brayden was overall pretty happy with what Santa brought him.
And everyone loved Nela's toys
Santa made a visit to Coshocton on Christmas Eve before delivering all his gifts to the good boys and girls.
The kids were so happy to see Santa and remind him of what they wanted one more time.
Brayden told Santa that his beard was soft.
Everyone got on Santa's lap ... here's cousin Wendy.
Grandma and Nela

Yep, that's Uncle Larry
There were ones of Aunt Barb and Tammy that didn't turn out on my camera. If I track them down on someone else's camera I'll add them.
Merry Christmas
Von and Hanna took some time to dance together
Mom and Von helped Nela open her gifts
Brayden was happy to get another DS game

Sunday we had a visit from Kujo's cousin Alex and his wife and son, Samuel. Here are the kids with Samuel. It was a short visit but it was so nice to get to meet another one of Kujo's family members.
This is Nela with her glow pooh at Mary and Paul's Christmas get together.

Josie took Brayden and Von to the AEP Chrismtas party. Aunt Barb works there and this is the second year Brayden got to go.
They had lots of snacks and prizes
Aunt Barb and Uncle Larry took Hanna along to enjoy the party as well.
Me and mom met Tammy at Schumakers the morning of my wedding to decorate. Here's me and mom...
here we are with my sister Tammy and my future niece or nephew ..
This is Kujo's brother, Omari, holding Nela.
And this is Pee holding Nela.
Kujo and I tied the knot Saturday. We had a lovely ceremony with immediate family and a few friends. The snow delayed our 4:30 p.m. ceremony for about an hour due to family traveling from Columbus to be here (we thank everyone who could make it for making the journey and getting here safely). Mayor Patterson did a nice job and we look forward to our church wedding with all the bells, whistles, friends and family in two years .. that's when I'll be Mrs. Kwabena Boateng RN.
