Christmas through New Year's

It has been a while since we have posted on our blog, so I thought that I would post just a brief update from Christmas...The kids and I finally made it through all of our sickness (thank you to all who prayed) and we were able to enjoy Christmas and New Years as a family.

For Christmas, my mom slept over Christmas eve, which was such a special time. We ate yummy Italian food, played with the kids, played Sequence with my mom and watch Christmas Vacation. The kids were so excited to have their "mimi" there on Christmas morning. After opening presents, we had a yummy breakfast and enjoyed watching the kids play with their new presents. It was a very special memory for me.

That afternoon, we all headed to KY to spend time with Brandon's family where we enjoyed a yummy Christmas dinner and had a great time playing Chicken Foot together. We spent a lot of time laughing and enjoying just being together as a family.

After Christmas, Brandon's mom stayed with us for a week, which the kids couldn't have been more excited about. We went to the movies, the park, and shopping in downtown Franklin. We even got to experience our first snow of the year on New Year's day.

It was a fun-filled holiday and we are so thankful for the family we were able to spend time with. It is always time that we cherish.
