I Hope everybody had a wonderful and safe Holiday season!!! We've been pretty busy here; in between the Holidays and everybody having strep/horrible colds since Thanksgiving! I figured I had better post some pictures before it's spring time :) Mom and Dad came down the Thursday before Christmas and left Christmas night. I was unable to take any extra time off from work, but I know Mom and Dad enjoy having Colin and Madison to themselves. It snowed Saturday morning so Madison, Colin, Grandma, and Papa built a snow family in the back yard. We had Christmas Eve at Mic and Mark's house. JR was at work and Mic had a fever of 101, but it was still an enjoyable evening. Christmas morning we opened gifts and lets say that was a process!!! The kids were horribly spoiled this year, but loved everything they received. Thank you to everybody who helped make Christmas special. That evening Mic, Mark, Grandpa Rick and Anita came over for dinner and then everybody left all at once and it was just Madison, Colin, and I. Here are some pictures from the week Mom and Dad were here.
