The last 7 years or so have been crazy as far as family being all over the place. For starters, as most of you know, Jon's family is ALL in Scotland, which means we are able to see them so rarely...it's sad. But even the Scott side is all over the place. We've been in Boston, Philly, Kenya and now Ohio. My brother Mark and his family were near us in Boston until we moved away, and they've just recently moved to Texas. My other brother Dave and his family moved to California just after we got married, and then came to Ohio with us for awhile, then headed back to California and are now heading off to France to the mission field for two years. So, we are one scattered family. We had the amazing privilege of all of us being together over the Thanksgiving holiday...and with Dave and Betsy and JJ being in France for 2 years, and with Jon having NO vacation time for this first year, who knows when we'll all be together again. I LOVE my family so much, and tried to squeeze every minute out of my time with them as possible...including a couple of airport mishaps! Anyway, here are a few pictures of our time together...

We had an awesome time celebrating both Thanksgiving and Christmas together. Hopefully it's not TOO long before we're all together again!

I know how that feels, having your family scattered.
SO VERY GLAD you were all able to be together. I know I have a greater appreciation for those times and am learning how to treasure each and every minute of it!
Great pics!! You are blessed with a wonderful family, scattered as it may be... Is that Dave "creeping" in the background of the picture of you and Cyndi???Typical!
I know, Chel. I clicked on that picture to see it better, and the first thing I see when the picture fills my computer screen is Dave's eyeball. Creepy.
What a great time it sounded like you had, Ang. What a blessing to have such a wonderful family and to have had the opportunity to spend some, "together" time with them. Thanks for the pics.
It's funny because I was just about to clear my name, and thenI realized that yes indeed, that is me creeping behind them.
