Man oh Man

I'm such a terrible blogger. The holidays came up on me and we got so busy I actually forgot about the blog for awhile, and when I realized how much I had to post I kept putting it off. So here I am trying to figure out the best way to wrap up the last 2 months. I think I'll just give you the shortened version.

November-- We wrapped up the month with a short (and long) but wonderful trip to Cedar City, UT for Thanksgiving. Vic's grandparents live there (Ashdown) and it had been so long since he had been there it was nice to visit. While we were there we celebrated Abby's 3rd birthday (YEY!) which happened to be Thanksgiving Day. Because we're such cool parents we didn't bring our camera with us so we have no documentation of the event. But I can tell you we had an ice cream cake with daisies on it and Abby had a slice AFTER her bath while in her pajamas. Yeah, that wasn't very smart. I can't believe my baby is THREE!!

December-- This might have to be the REALLY shortened version. It was my parents' turn for Christmas this year so we headed to Hobbs a few days before Christmas and had a wonderful time talking, playing games, and eating good food with our whole family for 10 whole days! Not only did we go, but my sister and her family live there, and my brother and his family came all the way from Nebraska too! My parents have 5 grandchildren and Abby is the oldest...so as you can imagine it was pretty crazy around that house for awhile. Not only that, but my mom's parents (who live in Idaho) SURPRISED us a couple days before Christmas! We were so shocked we didn't know what to think for awhile! It was a very wonderful Christmas and we are so thankful for the wonderful gifts and games and laughs we enjoyed while we were there. Oh, and we HAVE pictures of this event!



















I think that last picture looks like we need to be in a catalog, HA! :P

January-- Not too much to report here. We came back from vacation after the new year and a new semester of school started. We got back into the swing of things rather quickly and here we are! Thanks for bearing with me! :)
