Christmas 2008

3:15 am, December 18th...Left Kyle, TX
7:00 pm, December 18th...welcomed back to IL with an ice storm making the last 30 minutes take over an hour
9:30 am, December 19th...after spending the night at my brother's house we drove to my mom's house and slid right back down the hill of her driveway almost into a ditch. Canceled the visit to mom's and drove back to my brother's.
9:31 am, December 19th...Greg and I start asking ourselves "Why doesn't everyone just move to Texas?!"

Yes, it's no secret...we don't like the cold, ice and snow. But, we love seeing our family and we were glad we were able to see most of them on our visit. We had "jammy" Christmas fun at my mom's house in our pajams and got to hang around a lot with Tyler, Susan and the girls due to canceled plans. We were very disappointed we weren't able to go to Iowa on Sunday due to a blizzard and we had to leave Greg's mom's early due to another ice storm coming through the midwest. Seriously, Christmas in Texas next year!

Here are a few pictures from our Christmas 2008.
Jaedon's first drum set, ear plugs not included.
This picture gets harder every time!
Puzzled with Grandma Gloria.
Santa brought Aaron a big firetruack. Aaron calls it a "woo woo".
