It's Beginning To Look Alot Like Christmas

It's beginning to look a little bit like Christmas around the house. The presents are all wrapped, some of the cooking is done, the little elf is here to watch and see if Santa needs to stop here and even a little Christmas elf has been spending the night with us. It has been nine months since all the kids have been home and all together here so we are looking forward to the crowd. I know it will be wild and busy. Santa, all I want for Christmas is to have some great family time together and be able to enjoy each other. I know the little ones will be fun and entertaining. Everyone should start arriving Wednesday so I plan to get a good nights rest tonight. Ha!

We wish each and everyone a Merry Christmas!!!!!

Chicago and Reno

I would have to say this has been a busy few weeks and I have done more traveling than I have done in years just this month. We went to Chicago for the Fab Tech show. It was really pretty there. We got to see several sights and get in a little shopping. We enjoyed a lot of great food and time with friends. When we got back we had Morgan and Kennedy for four days. We were able to go see Snow White, the City Lights Christmas Parade and enjoy playing at the house and riding Ginger. Kennedy would not let PaPaw out of her sight. We had a alot of fun with them and I think they enjoyed their time here too.

We left and went to Kim and Scott's and stayed a couple of days before heading off to Reno. We enjoyed seeing them and getting to be with Cooper. He is such a sweet little guy and about to take off walking. We left Monday morning for Reno and flew into the airport with snow all over the ground. It was very cold there the whole time. We were not able to get the planes into the convention center due to the weather but did set up the booth on Monday. Tuesday they did get the newest plane in for everyone to see. We were pretty much worn out each night and got up at 4:00 a.m. to fly home on Thursday.

It was nice to be able to travel and see different places but it sure is nice to be back home.
