The Holidays have quickly come and gone! We had a great time here in Salisbury during Thanksgiving and had much to be thankful for.....health, family, Julianne, friends, church, jobs, cloths on our backs, hot showers, the gym, Chinese food,our car- Camry, playgroup, staying home with J, my new nephew coming in April, planes, rainy/snow days, Maui vacation, world wide web, pizza, jewelry, hot tea/coffee, just to name a few

Christmas 2010 was a whirlwind.......................................................

Randy had a much needed long vacation starting on Wed. 23rd, so we relaxed at home a few days and finished up shopping and wrapping presents. Then Christmas Eve is almost always spent at Uncle Joe&Aunt Marge's house, it s always fun to get together with family, especially with Merritt&Joey !!

On Christmas morning we woke up late and then headed over to the Scott's house to have our delicious breakfast, french toast, eggs, bacon, scrapple-ewww, and muffins!! It makes me hungry just writing about it!

We quickly opened our presents and then headed to the airport to catch our flight to KC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jules asleep on the plane, its so great when they FINALLY go to sleep on the plane, especially when they are a lap child!!

Once we arrived in KC we went to Aunt Bonnie's house to see my dad's family, who I haven't seen in quite some time!! Then opened more presents we we arrived at my parents house in Olathe, KS!!

THEN we left the following morning for NEBRASKA, all 8 of us packed into the suburban. It was a smooth trip for the most part, but the way home was another story!!!!!!!!

Opening presents at Aunt Susie and Uncle Dennis' House

Preparing the dinner

Sister Angela gettin her groove on, belly and alll!! She is having a BOY in April!!

Our trip in a brief description, because somehow everything I just wrote got erased!ugh
1. Left Aunt Susie's house Monday morning, Jules got the stomach bug, threw up probably 6 times in a matter of 4hrs.
2. We(Randy and I) got stomach bug the next day, couldn't move
3. The Oak Park Mall is amazing, and I can't believe all the new stores, including American Doll Store
4. Crown Center is so much when you get to take your kids there
5. The Plaza lights are always the highlight of my trip
6. P. F Changs have the best lettuce wraps!
7. We got our appetite back when we went to Jack Stack BBQ, yummy cheesy corn and burnt ends!!!

We are looking forward to 2011 and hope to sell our lovely little bungalow, because we have outgrown our 869 sq ft house!!
