a kroening family christmas

after we cleaned up our christmas morning celebration, we headed out to the farm to celebrate with kyle's family. miles continued to get s-p-o-i-l-e-d. everyone is so generous...and it's clear that he is well-loved. we ate a big lunch (ham, cheese potatoes, pie, etc) and sat around chatting while miles snoozed. in keeping up with tradition, we all brought along board games...but we never played anything. perhaps next year will be the year we actually bust them out!

who's hungry?

uncle clayt & uncle conrad built this for miles
[note the use of the appetizers for the face (those would be olives)]

I thought it was a daddy duty to wrangle the toys out of the box. somehow uncle clayt ended up with the dreaded job this year
