What nice pictures of everyone together! So cute to see Brian & Chris with their boys! Love the Yoder family and glad that you are now a part of it! Their house looks so cozy and beautiful and looks like everyone is happy to be together!

Oh my goodness... I'm guessing most of the pictures are at Brian's parent's "new" house... it is beautiful! And I love the fireplace! I think the best picture (they're all so fun though) are the 2 boys getting a bath in the sink. :)
