Well, I haven't really dropped off the face of the earth, but you might think so. I realized the other day that I never wrote about our Christmas holiday. So here goes....
The entire family converged on Shyla & Clay's home in Oklahoma this year. It was crowded, chaotic and a lot of fun!!!
We had a little bad weather driving down which is to be expected in December, but we arrived safely. The first thing we saw when we arrived was this...
Yeah!!! Shyla and Clay are giving Pierce a little brother or sister in July!!! We couldn't be more thrilled. They are wonderful parents and another little one will make their life just that more full of blessings.
The day before we arrived, Oklahoma had been hit with an ice storm. Everything was covered with a thick layer of ice.
This was the ice coating on Shyla's flower bed and patio lamp. Brrrrrrrrrrrr!!
The tree was overflowing with gifts.
The stockings were stuffed as well.
Because Jim, Alyson and the girls were flying home on Christmas morning, we actually had our celebration on Christmas Eve. I don't think the kids even noticed!!! The kids had fun tearing into their goodies.
However, the dogs didn't seem to care one little bit!!!
Pierce fell in love with his Geezer. He called him "Dudee". Don't know why but he was very sad when it was time to go.
The day after Christmas was quite a bit warmer so Pierce was able to play on the patio with his car.
While we were in Oklahoma, we were blessed to be able to visit with our friends, Robin & Steve. They had moved to Oklahoma from Billings just a few months before and it was SO good to be able to visit with them.
We miss them so much!
Well, that pretty much sums up our Christmas holiday. We had such a wonderful time in Oklahoma with our children and our friends.
So excited about the new addition! I'm glad it was a fantastic visit for you all! :)
