Every year my mom's side of the family meets in Paintsville, Kentucky for a family get together. Most of us live in the Dayton/Xenia/Cedarville area, but my great grandparents lived in Kentucky before moving to Ohio when my Grandma was a girl. Our family actually still owns some of their land in Eastern Kentucky. The funny thing is my dad was actually born in the hospital across from the hotel we stay at in Paintsville! What a small world!!
Anyway... we had a great time! My mom, Claire and I drove together and stayed in the same room. Ben stayed home with Anna, so it was a great girls weekend away! Claire had so much fun with all her cousins! We can't wait until next year!

Claire with her cousin Lauren! Claire really loves big girls right now!
Caroline, Lauren and Claire 
Scott & Shawn playing in their ping pong tournament. I do believe Shawn won!!
These two had a blast playing and EATING together. They ate so much junk (suckers being their preferred treat), but it was a fun weekend to do things we normally don't do!
The hotel was decorated for Christmas and Claire really enjoyed all the festive decorations!
My grandmother was from a family of nine kids! There are eight daughters and one son. Sadly, Sammy (the only son) died in a tragic airplane accident when he was in his mid thirties. Six of the eight sisters where in Kentucky so we took the opportunity to get a picture with our Aunts. I love this picture!
The Aunts from L to R: Betty, Lois, Mary, Evelyn, Karen Sue, and Joyce (my Grandma and Magdalene didn't make it).
Catherine... what a sweet baby! She did so well with such a change in her routine!
My cousin Cindie put together a wonderful kids program! It was so much fun to watch the kids sing and dance! The little kids where even included!!
The LITTLE kids! Ahleya, Claire, Caroline, Sam and Ariel. They were too cute!!
Mommy & her girl!
Some of the family hanging out! My mom, Tim, Beth, Karen Sue, and Kristen.
Claire and Caroline in their costumes for the kids program! They looked so cute watching the big kids!
Claire loved ringing the bells during the program. Connor helped her (sort of!!!).
We spent hours in the pool and hot tub at the hotel! Claire had so much fun going back and forth between the two (torture for me going from hot to cold, cold to hot....). She is still asking to get in the hot tub!
