Christmas, New Years...and then some

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and all that stuff!

I had a great Christmas Break. Thinking back, 2 weeks seems like it should feel longer. I went to my parents house for the whole 2 weeks. It was a wonderful 2 weeks. At some point, the whole family was together. For the first few days it was just mom, dad, and I. Then Matt and Lori came Christmas Eve and stayed through the Friday after New Years. Mark and Diane came Christmas Eve as well and stayed through Sunday the 3rd. Gloria, Ryan and Elayna came a few days before Christmas and left the 3rd. I got to spend a ton of time with my new neice and it was wonderful! After Christmas, the Pirtles came to visit for a few days. It wasn't near long enough but I guess I'll take what I can get seeing as how I can't be picky when they live so far away. I miss them something fiecere so it was awesome to see them and play with the kids. I think one night we stayed up till 3am playing cards, Rook specifically. All of us "kids" bought each one of the Pirtle kids gift certificiates to Walmart and then took them to spend it. We ALL had a blast! The most fun I've had in a long time. We did so much during the break it's hard to write about everything but I will put a few pictures up.
