We had a great Christmas filled with travel, family, and fun. We first went to my parent's house for a couple of days and then to Isaac's parent's house. We spent the new year at home recouping from all the traveling. Janna received a Kitchen set and numerous dolls and accessories. She had so much fun ripping into the Princess and Elmo wrapping paper. She liked the gifts too but loved the ripping of paper. She helped with our gifts as well. We went bowling with my brother and Dad while my mom watched Janna. We had a great time. It had been 5 years since we bowled last. I hope to do it again soon. We got to see Aaron, Christina, and Asher this year too. It was so nice to spend time with them as a family. Asher keeps growing and has beautiful head of curls. Christina is expecting their second child, Aaliyah, in February. She looked good. It was especially nice to have Aaron home since he was in Iraq last year. We all went out to see National Treasure on a double date. Isaac took the GRE and got what he needed to between all this fun. It is a big relief to have that off his shoulders. We saw the extended Collier Family on Friday before we left for home. It is always a good thing to see Maw Maw and PawPaw. Our car was packed full on the way home with more to be delivered later. We are very appreciative of all that family has given us during Christmas and through out the year. Next year the van will be making the trip instead.
We got home and unpacked and prepared for family coming back that next day. Janna did great sharing toys with Asher until he came to our house. At home everything was "mine" and all out physical battles. It hind-sight it was funny, to see a spivey small red head pull her own against a growing toddler boy.
We spend the rest of year relaxing and enjoying the quiet. (Or as quiet as it can be with a toddler in your house).
