Christmas Rewind Part 1

After spending 10 days on the road for Christmas, it feels good to be back home! We loved seeing family and friends- most we hadn't seen since we moved back in June.

We took off in the family SUV after school let out on the 16th. The kids had an early release day so we got out of town around noon. I told them to lay out what toys they wanted to bring with them, and this is what I got: Can you guess which one is Caroline's? :)



We pulled in my parent's drive in Noblesville a little after 1 in the morning. The next day, they were frantic to see their cousins, so we all got together at my sister's house for the kids to play. Then we took them bowling and out for Mexican food, followed by sleepovers-- the girls at one house and the boys at the other.

Sunday we all got together at my parent's for our Christmas dinner and exchange. Caroline with her nesting dolls......


Alex with his rocket....


All of the cousins.... Alex (10) Caroline (7) Taylor (9) Mya (almost 9) James (3) Lauren (7) and Jackson (12)

The brothers- in -law enjoyed hanging with each other......

After 4 days in Noblesville with my family, we headed north to the lake to stay with Jason's parents. Caroline's first stop was to see her BFF Zoe... they have been friends since preschool and she misses Zoe so much! Thanks, Shannon, for having Caroline over to play!


We also stopped by the Hartman house to see Gracie and Graham. Grace wasn't in the mood to have her picture taken, but Alex and Graham had fun hanging out.

We also got to see our friends Brooks and Shelby! Caroline and Shelby are also BFF's -- they were wishing for some snow to play in, but unfortunately it didn't snow until we left!


Alex and Brooks on the computer....


It was so good to connect with our Indiana friends and family. We miss you!

Part 2 coming soon!
