Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Hello Everyone! Long time, no posts!
We had a wonderful holiday season. It was so fun to have Christmas with Grace now that she is getting old enough to be really into her toys. We started the festivities with a visit from Glenn's parents and brother Drew the weekend before Christmas. We all went over to Glenn's sister's house in Greensboro on Christmas Eve and spent Christmas morning with Glenn's parents, Shane, Laurie, Logan, and Isaac. There were so many gifts and fun toys to play with... the kids had a blast.
After a great day with Glenn's family, we made the trip up to my parent's house for a big Christmas dinner (16 people included) and way too many Christmas presents. The whole thing was pretty chaotic, but it was just the way we like it. :)
We stayed up at my parents' house until Friday, but had to end the festivities early because I had to work Saturday. Glenn's parents came for another visit on Saturday and his dad stayed with us until today (Wednesday). Unfortunately, our New Year's celebration was a little less than festive due to the fact that I had to work that night and we are all sick (Glenn's dad included). Glenn and his dad celebrated the New Year by watching a motorcycle jump a football field (I haven't figured that one out yet, but hey, to each his own).
In sadder news, Grace has been very sick and we found out today she has two raging ear infections (the doctor seemed pretty amazed by how bad they looked). The poor kid's eyes have been watering, her nose is running like crazy, she's coughing, and is having a lot of trouble sleeping. She has needed a lot of mommy's TLC and has needed to be rocked in the rocking chair in order to fall asleep. We started an antibiotic today so I'm hoping she's start feeling better soon. If you think of us, please pray that our heads would clear and our sinuses would dry up.
Since I didn't do any kind of Christmas letter or card, I feel obligated to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We are so blessed by the people in our lives. God has been so good to us and we are so thankful for another season to celebrate the incredible gift of His Son. Thanks for reading!
Here are some Christmas photos:
On our way to search for the perfect tree!
Grace enjoyed stomping on the needles and branches on the ground. Eventually we found a tree that was just right.
Visit to Santa... big, bad, scary Santa Claus (at least Grace would have you believe that he is).
Grace enjoyed looking at his picture much more than sitting on his lap. At least we got a pair of reindeer antlers to commemorate the 1hr wait and the traumatizing visit to the man in red.
Playing music with uncle Drew and Dani.
More pictures to come.
