Christmas Break

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!


We celebrated a couple of times, and I did a terrible job taking pictures at all of them.  The first was on Christmas Eve with Robert's family.  Nola asked Santa for a couple of My Little Pony dolls and two different Aurora dolls.  Luckily, Grandma and Grandpa got her the MLP dolls.  She was pretty excited about the presents, in fact she had a hard time sitting through dinner before hand. 


Once the family left, we wrote a letter to Santa and set out Oreo balls and grapes (we didn't have any carrots, did you know reindeer like grapes!?!).  Nola went to bed pretty quickly and woke up around 8 ready for more presents!  Santa pulled through with one of the Aurora dolls but in the end she seemed to like one of Turk's toys best.



After our little Christmas we packed up and headed to Wichita to celebrate with my family.  We were there for a week and had a great time.  It was nice having extra hands helping with the kids.  It was also the first time my siblings met Turk.


During our trip we celebrated Christmas,

She was upset that she had to take turns opening presents.

attended a baby shower for a high school friend,


introduced Turk to my Grandparents,

Grandma and Turk

went to a painting class with my mom, sisters, and brother's new (and fabulous) girlfriend,




and rang in the New Year with a family game of Poker- what a difference a year makes.


We also shopped, saw Sisters, laughed, watched Fixer Upper, and ate LOTS of food.


It was a nice trip and made me wish we lived closer to my family!
