We've had lots of fun visits with family over the holiday season. My mom and step dad came to see us right before Christmas for a short, but hugely fun visit. Shad had great fun being silly with funny glasses with his nanny and greatly enjoyed playing with his paw-paw. The day after Christmas my sister and my nephew came to visit. Shad loves them both so much. We all do. They were here to bring in the new year with us. It's rare that we get to spend so much time together and we enjoyed every minute. They left to go home on January 2ND and then on the 9Th we got to see them again. My family got together in Charlotte for a brief reunion. My mom's side of the family: aunts, uncles, cousins, and my cousins children. It was a wonderful visit getting to see everyone that I hadn't seen in quite some time, years. There are 2 new babies other than Shad in the family that we got to meet for the first time; Anna Grace and Peyton. It was just so exciting having us all together reminiscing and now to see all our children hanging out together. It was wonderful. The trip broke us but it was well worth it to me for the memories. What a wonderful year 2009 is beginning to be! Hope every one's year has started out as terrific as ours.
Well, I hope you enjoy the pictures. I always have a hard time choosing so I probably post too many. Nah, you can't have too many pictures. So many wonderful memories.
Oh yeah, how about that snow. The kids had a ball-making snowballs! : ) Shad's face just lit up as he watched the snow falling from the sky. He marched around checking things out but didn't much care to touch it. Too cute! I wish it could have lasted longer. If it's going to be cold, we might as well have snow to make the cold more enjoyable!
Well, love and happiness to all!
