Our Vis family Christmas...................

 Our flight from Boston landed in Minneapolis at 11pm, but we were feeling like it was midnight.  The kids had fallen asleep on the plane and were rudely awakened by popping ears and sub-zero temps.  We decided to head straight to Leota yet that night while the kids slept in our rental jeep from Josh & Jodi.  I was feeling horrible and was spiking fevers with tones of chest pain from the nasty virus that Hailey had earlier in the week.  
Despite the illness, the parties proceeded as planned as all 19 of us moved in at Mom and Dad in Leota.  The kids loved their time with cousins as always while the rest of the adults strived to solve all of life's greatest problems in the living room.
Carter loves to hang out with his boy cousins and was wrestling with them whenever possible.

 Above is Mom and Dad with all 10 grandchildren....soon to be 11.
 The cousins don't skip a beat with each other.  They stay so very busy and love to mother Kensie continuously.  Three of my nieces and nephews have now passed me up in height!
Mike was struck by the virus next, followed by Taylor on Christmas day.

 Our very sick family......our memory of Christmas 2012
