My Present

Well since my last post the reindeer have deflated and one even popped, the angel is missing from the tree and cleverly replaced with a Dallas Cowboy helmet, and Logan and I took a fun trip to Georgia. My sweet, selfless husband bought me a plane ticket for Christmas to go see Claire. Aside from the over charge for luggage at the airport, the 3 mile walk to the terminal, and the lady who threw up all over herself one the airplane, it was the best trip ever. It had been 2 years since I saw her last, and we had fun just like it was yesterday. Here are a few pictures from the trip. We stayed up every night talking, and spent all day just hanging out. We made Christmas candy, attempted to work out (Logan wouldn't cooperate), and watched a few movies. I have to tell a little Ella story. I asked her to play with Logan at the gym so I could work out, to which she replied, "OK, I will be his mommy for awhile". Too cute! Anyways, Jason was such a trooper, and never complained that he didn't get enough time with Claire. Logan was in heaven with all the kids, and even participated in 1 hour of nursery for the first time. Claire and her sister have 2 kids and of the 4 kids 3 are boys. He just followed them around everywhere. Anyways I just have to give kudos to my wonderful husband Dustin for giving me the best present ever. It seems every year that he just gives the best thoughtful presents ever, and he has no idea how much this present meant to me. I think we took like 20 pictures before we got 1 that we both approved of! Do you think we look like sisters?? Every time we go somewhere everyone ask if we are!

Logan and Lincoln had a wonderful time in the bath, but Ella just hung out in the corner because Logan likes to splash. She didn't think it was a fun bath at all!!

We took the kids for a walk at Claire's parents' house and they had a blast playing in the leaves. I didn't get a very cute one of all the kids, but I thought this picture of Ella was just too cute. She had this permi-grin on her face the whole time.

Logan wouldn't sit in the leaves, but he sure had fun throwing them around and running through them like a sprinkler.

What a trooper!!! We had family home evening with the Allreds, and Jason let Claire decorate his face after they did the gingerbread house. Then she licked it off!! I didn't post that picture because it was X rated....LOL

Anyways so this is what's been going on, and now I'm off to work on my new furniture project!! Merry Christmas, because I'm confident this will be my last post until then!
