We had a wonderful Christmas and break from basketball and school...well at least a little break from basketball... We left for Iowa on the 22nd and did make it home safely...we had some slick roads and had to say a few quick prayers...but we made it. We spent the 22nd and 23rd at Grandma Mary's house and had Christmas with Mary, Roger and Mary Rose. Then on the 24th, we drove to my parent's house before the big snow hit... My brother and his family were not able to come on Christmas day as planned, so we opened presents on Christmas day with my mom and dad. Ben drove back to Maryville on the 26th and the boys and I stayed at my parent's house until the 28th when my dad and brother drove us back. I think we got 22 inches of snow all together...which was the most I have seen in such a long time. Our family is so blessed to have such wonderful families.
When we got back to Maryville, Peyton got to see what Santa brought! THe first thing he said was, "I've been a good boy Mommy!" He is a good boy...and loved his train table.
This weekend, we had our good friends Josh and Megan and their daughter Keatin come visit. Peyton and Tate loved having a friend to play with. She is technically closer in age to Tate...but I was quite impressed with how she held her own with my wild man Peyton. We had a great time with the Barbers and loved going to the game on Saturday to cheer on the Bearcats with them! The kids looked pretty cute all decked out in their Bearcat gear... I am so happy when friends come to visit...
I have to go to work tomorrow. I am so sad about having to go back. I love being at home with my boys. Hopefully the rest of this school year will fly by!!!
Happy New Year!!!
