Catching Up!

I know that I've been slacking on the blog, but now we are back to normal life and I promise to be better! December was crazy, but tons of fun! Mark took some time off, and we had Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Mike come visit for the holidays. We packed a lot of excitement into a couple of weeks, and we had a wonderful Christmas. Some highlights for us were:

• Making cookies on Christmas Eve as a family. The boys loved rolling the dough, using the cookie cutters, frosting them, and of course eating them!
• Going to see Marley and Me on Christmas Day. I don't think I have ever cried so hard at a movie! And I'm not really a dog person!
• Getting in an accident in the rental car, not our fault but SUCH a pain!
• Riding the train to Hanford and getting lunch at the Creamery.
• Grandma's Hannah Montana Birthday Party! The boys worked really hard to put it all together.
• Shooting rockets
• Fixing the rockets so they could shoot them again.
• Flying RC Helicopters.
• Fixing the RC Helicopters so they would fly again.
• Driving up to Shaver to eat some good pizza and play in the snow. It was Kevin's first time and he loved the tube! It was a beautiful day and so fun!
• Marky getting car sick and throwing up in the rental car on the way home from Shaver. Not so fun. That poor car.
• Driving to Tulare to eat hot dogs in an airplane. It was freezing, but a fun experience.
• Staying up and playing Hearts after the kids went to bed.
• Eating lots of good food and enjoying the company! It felt so good to have family for the holidays!
