Perhaps this is the year that blogging will take off for me (insert eye roll)....who am I kidding.....facebook has taken over my life. I love it.
Anyway--
I will try to do a whirlwind update for those of you who have been pestering me to do so.
Thanksgiving was a quiet time since the kids were celebrating with the Greenway side of the family. It was nice and lonely all at the same time. I did get to enjoy the day with my brother, his girlfriend, my half brother, and my parents. Gotta love the table pics.
Christmas was with my family in Kansas City. We were aiming for skiing in Colorado, but when you wait to book for 15 people until October.....you end up going to Kansas City instead!
However, we did enjoy snow tubing at Snow Creek, which is a man made snow hill in the Kansas city area. The kids were a little skeptical at first, but as you can see by the pictures Jonathan and Abbey were thoroughly enjoying themselves and actually decided they needed two days to tube instead of just one. I enjoyed it, but day one was gorgeous and day two was absolutely freezing. The bitter cold made it a little less enjoyable.
Yeah- I got skills, this is an action shot of Jonathan (and I) going down the hill.
Christmas was fun because we were all there. It is a rare occasion that one of isn't missing, but this year we were all able to attend, My parents, brother and Michelle, My sister and her family, an aunt, uncle and cousin, as well as a short visit with another cousin I hardly ever see. Good times. I am so thankful for my family and the love and support that they provide....among other things!
On to New Years--- an exciting night, and morning, with friends and a little trivial pursuit. FUN. Probably don't need to go into more detail than that! No pics of that one, sorry.
I am SO glad school has started again and the kids can expand their minds with information given to them by someone other than myself. :)
Well, that about sums it up.
Until next time......
