Christmas 2010

This year was a very special time for our family for two extremely big reasons! 1.) Kylie Joy Flora was able to celebrate her very first Christmas with the entire family. 2.) Josh was able to fly up from Florida to spend some time with us so we were able to get some family pics with the ENTIRE family present! That hasn't happened for 6 YEARS!!! We had a wonderful time with family and lots of food, and of course...we passed Kylie around so that everyone could hold her :)

Here she is right after Jake fed her. Doesn't she look content?

The proud parents of two very special girls.

Jake got this funny pic of me because I didn't know he knew how to run my camera so I wasn't really prepared for the flash to go off. Lol.

Here, we have a very "Outrageous" game of "Rage" going on.

Some big brother time for Kayla. She hasn't been able to do that in awhile.

James was able to come over on Sunday to play games with us. Hopfully there wasn't any cheating...ahem...discussing going on between those two. Lol

More "Rage".

Sunday night, we were able to get this amazing four generation picture. Isn't that cool?

The first cousin shot since before Josh and Jake left for boot-camp.

The ENTIRE Flora family.

Now this is the ENTIRE "Chambers" family with the grandparents at the center and the daughters and their families on either side.

Ft Scott- candlelight tour

This past Friday, we had the opportunity to travel up to Fort Scott, KS to attend their annual candlelight tour. The Lingg family was able to join us and we carpooled up to a mutual friend's house, Ron Puterbaugh who is the police chief of the Fort. All the 'young people' went downstairs to take advantage of the ping pong table, Foosball table and snacks.

I'm not sure what the name of this game is, but basically, it's 4-square on a ping pong table and instead of hitting the ball, you have to blow it without letting it touch your face.


Justin, David, Krista, and James

Later, some of the 'older folks' came down and joined us for an invigorating game of 'Taboo'.


Before the tour, we went to Pizza Hut for supper.


Angela, Abby and Anna

And we'll end with a picture of 'the couple'. :-)
