Holiday update
It has been a crazy busy time here at the Ross house.
We had a great weekend, I couldn't ask for better memories and stories to tell. The girls really enjoyed themselves and behaved very well with the travelling and holiday craziness.
For Christmas Eve we went over to the Hartzells house to experience and share in their wonderful holiday traditions. We had a special dinner which Linda only makes once a year and it was so good. After dinner we each took turns reading a verse from the bible with all the lights off and just a candle in front of us. Then they brought out a birthday cake and we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus. We were so thankful to be able to spend our Christmas Eve with a family.
The next morning Lizzie woke up at her usual 7:30 and she came into bed with me while Daddy turned the tree lights on and got her milk and then we walked out in the living room with her. Her stroller was unwrapped and she played with it immediately. I still think alot of this gift thing is a little over her head. She also got a car to go with her Little People house, and some Elmo puzzles.
After all the fun we headed off to Maryville to my Gran's house. We had a great time with the family but it certainly was not the same without my mom who was in Oregon at my sister. We really missed her.
Monday, JoyLynne and Gosey were passing through town on their way home from Christmas with JLG's family and we had dinner together. It was so great to see them. I'm hoping I got a better picture on the other camera, this was not a good moment for Julia but great of everyone else.
Now we're gearing up for our trip to MA, we leave for Knoxville and Christmas with my Mom on friday and then fly out the next morning for our week long trip up north. I am so excited to go. It will be a great getaway and they are supposed to get fresh snow the day we fly in. I'm hurriedly reading the first Chronicles of Narnia book so we can see the movie with Andy's sister.
I have a ton to do before we go, I have a running list of things to pack, things to pack in carry ons, things to get at the last Walmart trip and finally things around the house to clean. Unfortunately I am now nursing a cold so trying to take it easy falls pretty low on the list.
But I am just holding on till that vacation!
