Hello everyone! I thought I'd take a turn to fill you in on our family. We've had a fun and busy past few weeks getting ready for Christmas and enjoying ourselves with family and friends. We truly feel blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives. Our Christmas vacation started a few days early this year because of a bad wind/rain storm on Thursday, December 14th. The wind knocked out our power for a few days and really woke everyone up as to how prepared we all are for emergencies. We were lucky to only have the power out for a few days. Others were out for over a week! Even if you had a generator to get you through the hard part was finding a gas station open, with gas and power! (Minor details!:)) But we survived and are now more fully stocked and prepared for the next wind storm. The kids go back to school on the 3rd! We moms hope so, at least, so we can somehow regain our sanity!
We have had a wonderful Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve with some close friends and had a yummy dinner. Then we headed home to our own traditions and family time. Christmas day was fun and the kids played hard! Aaron (also a kid!) played with his remote controlled helicopter and airplane until many of the pieces were broken! We were able to visit with Barbara and Jason at their home along with Andy and Emily, Derek, Angie and Scott and girls, and Barrett and Beckie and kids. It was fun to see them all.
We spent this past week relaxing and not doing a whole lot! It was wonderful! I haven't looked at my calendar in a week or so. When we get back into our "schedule" it will be a shock! We are heading over to a friend's home for New Year's Eve tonight so that should be fun. The kids all think they will make it until midnight but we'll see! I'm thinking they'll have to carry Aaron and I out to the car! We haven't stayed up late in quite awhile! We wish you all a happy new year and hope you enjoy yourselves! Make some good goals!
Love, Kira
