Krause Christmas 2021, Part 2

 

The two oldest Gallos, Ben and Lauren, were SO excited to show Joey all of their new Pokemon cards that they had gotten since they last saw him. I got this text from my sister a couple of days before they got here: The kids can't handle how excited they are to show Joey their Pokemon. Lauren: I bet Joey only thinks I have like 11 cards and no coins! *Big grin*

We couldn't get enough of smiley baby James.

Joey had one home basketball game when the Gallos were in town, so we all went to go see him. 

With Andy's parents and my family, Joey had fifteen fans at the game. The good news is that he had a great game, and his team won!

Nathan really liked cheering for Joey's team!

At halftime, the girls took the kids onto the court to shoot some hoops.

That night Ben and Lauren spent the night at our house. We introduced them to Huckleberry the next morning. They loved it. At one point Ben said, "This is like geography too!" He seemed impressed.

Later that day we all ended up back at my parents' house.

 

Joey and Lauren loved tricking people with "Lauren's long legs!"

Cheers with chips!

Uncle Andy always likes snuggling or playing with the Gallo kids.

Hannah loves doing puzzles at Nana and Buba's house, and it's even better with a lap buddy.
