Empty Nest......

....after all the grandparents have gone, we're down to just 5. What a busy but fun holiday it was.....and we're just enjoying a breather with the kids before the girls head back to school next week. Holiday garb is down, the Christmas tree "crumbs" have been swept....and the house actually feels kind of empty. So anyone looking for a vacation destination....our guest room is once again available!


A little date night to The Tractor Room (one of my favs)!!!

Merry Christmas 2008!

What a wonderful Christmas we had in our house this year......the kids are at the age of peak excitement so we began Christmas in our house at 4:45am! Macy flipped on the lights in our bedroom yelling "SANTA CAME!" So we were a few mimosas deep by only 7am! Santa was surely good to us this year with the biggest gift~having us all together. Mike's parents joined us for the holidays and my parents will be with us shortly after Christmas upon returning from their cruise on the 27th. It's hard to believe the holidays have come and gone in a blink of an eye. We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas filled with family and friends and continue to be surrounded by all things good now and into the New Year!
