A Cousins Christmas

On Thursday last week, we headed to South Carolina to see Chris' family. It took us two hours to go the first 25 miles but traffic improved after that.

It was great to see everyone in South Carolina.
Josiah had a lot of fun playing with Ryan.
Wesley was so happy he couldn't contain himself.  He was more than a little crazy when we were opening presents.  I think this was even before we told him was going to spend the night with his boy cousins at their house.
David, Amanda, and Claire.
Tricia and Stephen hosted Wesley Friday night, all day Saturday, and Saturday night.  We briefly saw Wesley for dinner on Saturday.  He had so much fun with the boys.
Daniel
Lydia and Lucy got some fun presents.
 They loved wearing these matching hoodies.
They played together all day Saturday.  They also decorated cookies.  That night Jacob and Daniel decorated cookies but I forgot to take a picture of them.
What did Chris, David, and Wayne do all day?  Well, I don't think David played games all day....
Right before we left we tried to get a picture of the cousins.
Of course, it was 2:00 in the afternoon and we made them look into the sun.
We missed getting a picture of Mike and Ieda but we enjoyed getting to catch up with them.

It was so much fun to see everyone in Chris' family.  Neither Chris nor I grew up with first cousins.  He doesn't have first cousins and my first cousins are 18 years older than me, so we think it is pretty special to get to spend the weekend playing with cousins.  And we can't wait to see them again.
