After our family opened up stocking stuffers early we headed to Bald Head Island, NC to meet up with the whole family(Brown's, Steffens, Tennyson's & Gehman's). It was such a fun trip! We were blessed to be able to stay in a Huge house right on the beach. The "big" boys (Caleb, Josh & Eli) were basically on the beach all day everyday. They played endless games of ultimate frisbee and loved to fish each day. Thankfully the weather was great!! The little ones (Lauren, Will, Lilly, Abby and Zack) also enjoyed building sand castles, digging holes to play in, and eating the sand. Lauren and Will loved playing follow the leader walking up and down the sand dunes in the itchy grass. It is so much fun to be able to see the cousins play together and build memories. It makes me miss my family and wish we all lived a lot closer so we could build these memories more often!! It is such a blessing to have a wonderful family who love the Lord and each another so much!! It's always so hard to say goodbye!! Being able to enjoy the beauty of God's creation and the awesome time we had together as a family made me think... I thought about how this could be a glimpse of what heaven is like but it's probably not even close. So imagine how amazing it will be when we are all together in heaven for eternity enjoying each other and all that God has made, I can't wait!!
