I can't believe that I am just now getting ready to post this entry since it is already the middle of January...guess we have been a little busy!

Okay, our next stop on our Christmas trip was South Bend, IN to celebrate with the Ruszkowski's! We stayed at MawMaw's with Dzia Dzia, MiMi, Aunt Jennifer, Uncle Pinckney, Lilly, and Biggie (Bieber..his new nickname as of Christmas!!). As you can tell, the cousins kind of took over MawMaw's house with all of their toys..but they had a great time together! We played a lot, napped some, watched Disney movies, and relaxed. Then we celebrated Christmas Eve at Aunt Janice's house with most of the Ruszkowski family members. Emersen was a little overwhelmed at the beginning of the night meeting everyone, but she eventually warmed up and had a great time! On Christmas morning she was so surprised by the gifts that Santa brought! It was so fun watching the excitement on all of the kids' faces! We had a wonderful time with everyone!
