Thanksgiving and Christmas











We had the awesome ability to visit our family for Thanksgiving and Christmas. So, we had two free tickets on Frontier Airlines and we decided it was time to go back down South. So we bought a ticket for Jace and hoped aboard to Atlanta, GA! Jordan's sister lives in Huntsville, Alabama because her husband works for NASA (super smart dude), so we thought it would be fun to see her family and then go and see my brother Marc in Atlanta and his family for Thanksgiving. SOOOOO aside from long flights and a REALLY long car ride with our wonderful boys, we finally got to Hunstville. Heidi showed us the town and we spent WAY too much money at this great outdoor mall called Bridge Street! So cute and had GREAT stores. I found my new Juicy Couture purse there and got a great price on it, it was my surprise find from the trip :)!!! After a whirlwind of food, shopping and non stop laughs we headed to Atlanta for more laughsl-thanks to Suzie, food and shopping! Jace LOVED being with Jake and Josh (Heidi's boys) and Luke and Sara (Marc's kids). And well, Sean he just enjoyed nursing and sleeping. What a good boy he was! It was awesome to see the South, especially Atlanta's Aquarium, we HIGHLY recommend you visit this destination, well worth every penny for a pricey ticket in! We loved being with family and we were so happy to be able to go and see them.

Then for Christmas we headed to Idaho Falls for 10 days, yes, 10 days with Jordan's parents and siblings. And yes, I did have a fantastic time. Jordan's family is so much fun and have great traditions. I love being with them, we just need to get them a bigger home :)!!!! Christmas morning was so exciting and fun, especially because Jace is finally realizing who Santa is and that he brings fun things. His big toys were a bounce back racer and trucks with trailers. Sean's was a ball popper toy, and a rolley ball thing :)-like that explanation :)!!!! I got Jordan a 22 rifle, and a new watch, and he reciprocated with a new watch for me as well. I've posted pics of our fav gifts and we had so much fun blessing Jordan and my family with gifts, but those around us this year as well. It was truly the best Christmas this year as we were able to help so many families in need. It was exciting to know we weren't the only one's having a Merry Christmas. The true spirit of Christmas happened and it made me feel so good. I'm so grateful for Jesus and for the gospel in my life.
