My family is usually only able to get together 1 time a year and that is for Three Kings Day! This year we celebrated Saturday, January 5th until January 6th. The 5th we did family fun, presents, photos, cooked, and ate food (all day). Sunday, January 6th, we spent the day celebrating Virginia Lane. In March (at least that's her due date) she will be the newest member of the family.
This year was the first Three Kings day with all 4 sisters married off. I feed bad that my father didn't have anyone to carry his name on. I think most people we grew up with will always know us as the Krueger sisters. That's ok with us, I think. It was also Olivia's first Three Kings Day. She was a joy to have around. Next year we will have 2 sweet babies... if not more! You never know!
