Christmas day we braved the weather and drove to Virginia where we spent Christmas Day. Just like every Cope gathering there were lots of people lots of laughs and even more love. It was great to have all 22 of us home. Jude and Jax are so thrilled to play with their cousins, add in presents and sweets and their life is grand!!! The drive was a bit stressful for the first 15 miles out of Duluth, after that it was just fine. We are so glad we made the trip!!!!
