I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! The kids and I had probably the best Christmas I have ever had, truly! We were up in MI from the 17th-23rd and got to celebrate with family and friends! It was just what we all needed, and honestly a GREAT trip! The kids and I took off from Lynchburg during our first snow storm of the season, and of course were delayed, which made us have to get a later connecting flight to Detroit. So after starting out from home at 4 a.m., we finally arrived in Detroit at 5 p.m. All in all, I can not complain-kids did FANTASTIC!!! They are such troopers and great travelers! :-)
The kids and I spent some much needed time with my family and friends along with my sister in law Leah and my niece and nephew! They have a beautiful new home in Ortonville and the kids and I spent one afternoon visiting and catching up. The kids got to spend the afternoon with Aunt Sally and Aunt Krista making ornaments while I did a fun photoshoot for my friend Jocelyn's Family! We also went to visit their Grandpa and Grandma Linda Shea, which it has been a few years for us. They had never met Lola and were very excited to finally see them all together after so much time has passed. The kids also got a special treat and were able to make and decorate cookies with their Great Aunt Joyce! Oh, was that ever fun and sugar OVERLOAD!! :-) Priceless, thank you Aunt Joyce!! It was a full week, but so worth every minute! The kids really enjoyed playing with their cousin Audrey, who we got to see pretty much everyday we were there! She's growing up so fast and is soon to be a Big Sister once little Henry makes his debut March 9th! :-) So exciting!!!
Once we arrived home, we spent Christmas Eve watching "Rudolph" and getting ready for the Big Man to appear! This year Jackson was up at 5, so not as bad as last year (2a.m.) and he came in my room as said "Mom", Santa was here and he brought me everything I wanted!!!! :-) So sweet! It was a great morning! Max and Jackson just loved every minute of opening presents while Lola pretty much like all her candy out of the stocking and all the paper and boxes! The kids went to their Dad's later that afternoon and I spent the evening with my thoughtful neighbors who invited me over to share Christmas Dinner with their family! It was perfect, and as Jackson said to me after all was said and done-Mom, this was the best Christmas Ever! I Couldn't have agreed more! :-)
So the following day, the kids took off to Florida for a week with their dad and his family. It was real quiet around here and hard at first, but I got all of things done that needed attending to. Now we are into the new year and I am really looking forward to all it has to offer! I truly feel this is going to be a great year, with great possiblities!! Fingers Crossed!!! :-)
Here are some pictures of our holiday season! Enjoy! :-)
