Jamaican Christmas

Not your usual Midwestern Christmas environment, but the Tree was there. Might have to make this beach vaca a pre-Christmas tradition.

Jamaican Kid-less Vacation

Jen and I were blessed to be able to take a vacation for ourselves to Montego Bay, Jamaica. It was incredible and exactly what the DR ordered as these past 3 years have been a bit stressful.

There was one cloudy day, but that didn't stop us from "beaching-it." Jen even fit in a nap while I went off to grab some lunch for us.
Nothing fancy about this trip. No adventure tours or boat rides, just Relaxation. I actually got to read something other than an Anesthesia text book and Jen read an entire book. Some reading, sleeping, a lot of eating, and a whole lot of sunshine.

Christmas Pics Continued

Couldn't tell you how many princess/barbie toys the girls got, but it was a bit sickening.
Kaed got these sweet "Carpet Skates." Only thing is that they fit up to a size 15, so they're a bit big, but don't tell him that.

Another Christmas present for the ages. My brother Zach and I got amazing seats on the 50 yard line for the Christmas Day Packers vs Bears game. It was epic, and of course the Pack dominated. Also felt good to fit in with the crowd by wearing my Packers down parka, Jen's embarrassed any time I wear it around her.
Jen in her Christmas spirit. Also, reading a Level 1 Kids book just for kicks.

Christmas Pics

Nothing like a kid stoked to open another present!
This pic is one for the ages. I, Lance Kelly am officially an OWNER of the Green Bay Packers. I've already put a call into Ted and Mike regarding the starters playing time against the meaningless Lions game. The organization needs my input!

It's almost here...

Lance did it!! OK....he almost did it! Last weekend we had his graduation ceremony! It was a really great time for us to celebrate all that he has accomplished! However, he is still studying for his major exam so we are not fully rejoicing yet! Soon though, very soon!

Of course, no one wanted to take their picture, so this is the best we got!

Merce and I watching the ceremony...from the back, of course!


All the kiddos and cousins, and a friend at the Holidazzle parade! It was freezing cold, but the kids were troopers and absolutely loved it!

Sorry for the delay...

Life has been pretty crazy for us over the last month, so I apologize for the delay of pictures! Here are a few I hope to be adding more soon! Here is Lance and Merce at a going away party!

I had the kids color on boxes to distract them from the fact that I was actually packing away all our things in the other boxes!

Kaedyn and Violet with our beloved fish, Romario Jr. I cannot believe he survived our move! I certainly didn't make it easy for him! But...he is relentless!


Hannah reading books to the girls! They were so delighted to have her here!
