Friday afternoon, after Joey got home from work, we packed up the van and headed to Germantown to spend the Christmas weekend with his family. We had a great time. The highlight of the trip out for Bailey was turning her carseat to face forward. She can finally see DVDs when we play them. Connor enjoyed a "special drink" on the trip. They are both starting to do much better on longer car rides.
The time with Joey's family was wonderful. Bailey loved Grandma and Papa's dogs. Connor was a little wary of them. Aunt Carley was a big help showing Bailey the dogs and how to pet them. We had a great family dinner Saturday afternoon. The kids enjoyed spending time with all their aunts and uncles and their cousin Cruz. Joey and I got to meet up with some friends Saturday night after the kids went to bed. It was so great to fellowship with them.
Sunday morning, we opened presents. The kids were much more into, since they had practice Thursday. They were even kind enough to help us open our gifts. The big gift we got was from Joey's parents. They got us a swingset for the backyard. Can't wait to have it up so the kids can burn energy and take good long naps.
We drove home Monday after lunch. Thankfully, the kids slept a little on the ride home. They were worn out. We had a wonderful Christmas. We praise God for all the blessings He has provided for us this year. We look forward to seeing what He has in store for 2012. Hope everyone has a great and safe New Year's Eve. We will be ringing in the new year in high style, SLEEP!!! God bless!!!
