Merry Christmas

After spending two days and 14 hours in the van, we arrived in Indiana for Christmas. It was wonderful to see and visit with family (we missed you Uncle Jesse and Aunt Nicole) for our first holiday as a complete family.

While we slept, our visions of sugar plums were replaced with visions of Sudafed, Nyquil and Immodium; all of the kiddos were sick over the holidays. Sickness couldn't put a damper on Christmas, though. The kiddos enjoyed playing with cousins and opening a mountain of gifts (thank you, Nana and Papa). The adults enjoyed time together eating Nana's goodies and playing euchre.

Daddy and Uncle J were even kind enough to ferry the kiddos who were mostly well to pizza and a movie.

All in all, a wonderful holiday with the ones we love (most of them at least)!
