Our Hoerr family met up at Mark and Ashley's in Wisconsin to celebrate Christmas together. We were very excited to be with everyone and especially excited to meet Maddie for the first time. Judson spent most of his time there sick, but finally had a fun morning with the kids the morning we set off for home. Even though we are miles a part from the Sauders I'm thankful Judson can still form relationships with his Hoerr cousins. They sure are a fun bunch!
Playing the mustache game.
Reuben's blond beard looks a bit more natural. :D
Tori girl!
Reading a Christmas book by the Christmas tree.
There is a place we all gathered too a lot. Mark and Matt went and bought some amazing Wisconsin cheeses.

Movie time and snuggles.
Christmas Eve the kids opened stockings which revealed some church toys.
Nana playing hide n' seek with the kids.
Here is miss Maddie.
CHEESE!
Love this cutie pie.
Alex was Ashley's personal assistant. She was a huge help to the busy mom of 4.

Reuben, Vienna and Tori did a skit of the Christmas story.
Tori was Mary.
Vienna was the angel and donkey.
Nana and Judson getting ready to watch the skit.
The angel appeared to Mary telling her that she was to give birth to the Messiah.
The angel then appeared to Joseph in a dream telling him to not be afraid to marry Mary.
Off to Bethlehem. Notice the pregnant Mary. :D
The donkey didn't make it far.....
The birth of Jesus.
Then it was time for presents.
Sward fight!
Judson got lawn mower. I'm sure he will be mowing outside with daddy this spring.
Christmas dinner.
Judson loved baby Maddie as you can see.
Coloring buddies.
Chase became a present for Aubrey of course.
With all the eating it felt good to stretch our legs.
This is probably my favorite picture because it captures all of us siblings together. Love and enjoy them so much!
Just taking a spin.
On our way home we were able to carpool with Nana who was taking Reuben and Vienna back with her for a few days.
We stopped for lunch and then parted ways. Judson definitely got to know his long-distance cousins a little bit better.
It was nice to get home after almost 2 weeks of travel. All the driving was worth the memories made.
Best pictures EVER!
