Munz Family Christmas!

The day after Christmas, the entire Munz family met in Georgia to CELEBRATE!  The Florida crew packed in the RV, towed a trailer, and arrived at almost the same exact time as the Chicago crew.  My parents rented a house on Lake Lanier that fit all of us perfectly!  Because the twins were due right around this time, we all decided to skip out on Florida and meet in the ATL.  Unfortunately, Anna and Kate were not home yet from the hospital but Phil and Mare joined us at the house which was a HUGE blessing.  We are thankful though that the twinkies are doing really well and growing BIG and STRONG!  Come home soon girls!!! 

HERE WE GO…..

What a great Day 1…the Interactive Childrens Museum

The weather was wonderful!  We spent a lot of time playing on the beach, taking walks, and enjoying every bit of time that we had together!

It is so fun watching these kiddos grow up together!

The TAZ was a MESS on the beach…Daddy had ENOUGH:)

B.L.E.S.S.I.N.G.S

Now THIS is a wild gang!  Pop Pop even has matching jammies!

Every night the kids had a gift to open.  It was kind of nice spreading out the excitement throughout the week.  The first night we exchanged gifts between the cousins.  We switched names among those 2 and up.  They took so much pride in the gifts they were giving.

Ry Roo is a great older cousin!  She is so sweet to all the kids and LOVES being the biggest cousin.  She is an excellent reader and I am so proud of her!

And Phil?  Seriously...he really needs his girls to come home from the hospital :)

One night we drove through Lake Lanier Islands, "Magical Nights of Lights".  So pretty and so memorable!

We headed to the Chestatee Wildlife Preserve one day!  Camels, elk, goats, bears, monkeys, lions, tigers, panthers and more!  

One night we opened the gifts from the grandmas.  Slippers all around from Grandma Jerri and engraved silver bells from Grandma Munz.

Check out the new shades…the girls got to go shopping one day and Pop Pop gave them money to spend:)  

Ry and Ali LOVE their little cousin Allie Grace!  They are waiting anxiously to meet Anna and Kate.  Allie, Anna, and Kate are going to love tagging along with their big cousins:)

Everyone got to meet Anna and Kate while they were in town!  

Sweet babies in their Christmas jammies :)

Lunch at the park was pretty chilly, so we decided to go to Chick-Fil-A to play and get milkshakes!

Lots of fun down at the "beach"!

 Our Can Man!

Jake the Snake :)

The last gifts that the kids opened were sleeping bags from Pop Pop and Mimi.

The girls' were pink and the boys' were blue.

Here they are!  All 12! 

We are getting old...this is us ringing in the New Year,  watching the ball drop!  We were a lively bunch! 

Seriously, we all could hardly stay awake :)

We were able to stay an extra day and head to the Batusic's.  It was a great ending to the trip! 

Andrew's marshmallow is a little overcooked :)

Really King???  What am I going to do with this kid:)

Every time we get together, I try my hardest to embrace every moment!  I want so badly for time to stand still when we all get together because I love my family and love spending time with them.  As I look back at the 500 plus pictures that our awesome photographer (Melissa Anne Batusic:) took this past trip, I am reminded of how incredibly amazing, crazy, and BLESSED that we are.  Although I wish we all lived closer, I wouldn't change it for the world knowing that we get this QUALITY time together!

Dad and Mom, non of this would be possible without you.  You keep on GIVING and GIVING!  We are so thankful for your generosity and love!  Thank you for the unforgettable memories, we LOVE YOU!
