We had an amazing Christmas this year! The kids went to the Christmas Eve service with Andy while I went to work. Such is the life of a hospital RN. We had Christmas at our house (just the kids, Andy, and me) Christmas morning after I got home from work. We put the turkey in the oven, opened presents, and I went to bed. Three hours later the turkey was done, I got up from my nap, and we loaded up to go to Nana and Papa’s house. We ate with Jeremy & Mel, and Grandmother & Papa Cross. We stayed up late talking. It was a lot of fun. All we were missing was Jenny & Jacob and the girls. We were able to celebrate Thanksgiving with them this year though.
Late Christmas night we went home to sleep for a few hours before we would get up and pack to leave for Houston. Jachin’s birthday (Dec 26th) is always a lot of fun because family is always around. He opened his birthday presents before we started our 7 hour drive. It was great trip except for one thing, we almost got a ticket. I made the mistake of giving Bo a Zicam, he got car sick, and I was drapped over the seat trying to clean up. At that moment we saw flashing lights behind us. The policeman informed us that being in the car without a seatbelt was against the law. However, he felt sorry for us and gave us a warning for “speeding.”
In Houston we stayed in Mimi & Pa’s new house. Heather and the girls made it to Houston a few hours after us. It was fun all hanging out together. They even played Lasertag for Jachin’s birthday. We always feel like we get too much every Christmas, and this year was no exception. We have so many people that love us, and spoil us! THANK YOU!
