December 2011

Wow! It has definitely been a while.....

Well, we had a fun filled month is December!!! We had a surprise visit from Grandpa Chuck and Grandma Pat on their way down to Arizona. We had a short visit but it was so nice to see them!!
On Christmas Eve we had one last "present" arrive which ended up being Bama Sanders!!! She was able to spend a week with us and have some quality time with the grand kids! While she was here we put her in Austin's room on the air mattress and moved his crib into Kaelyn's room. But we turned his crib into a toddler bed, so he is officially in his big boy bed!!! Kaelyn and Austin really seem to enjoy being in the same room so we have re-arranged a little bit and they are sharing a room again. It's fun to see them take care of each other!
We spent Christmas Eve night with Joe's mom, step dad, and siblings, cousins and more cousins!!! It was fun to see everyone and the kids had a blast. We woke up Christmas morning to find presents from Santa under the tree. It was so much fun to watch the kids open their gifts and spend time together!!
Joe had volunteered me to make a turkey for Christmas day, and luckily my mom was here to help. I decided that I will probably never try and make a turkey again!!! It really grossed me out! But it turned out well and we had lots of yummy food!
Joe and I were able to get in a few movies and go out to dinner at our favorite place-Ichibans-while my mom was here. It was a great visit!
The end of the month was followed up with a visit by Uncle Nate!! This was another quick visit but we got to meet for dinner and spend some time at the mall.
Life has been busy and crazy, but so what else is new!!!

Enjoy the pictures!
