Part 4- Christmas Jammies

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve with our matching Christmas Jammies and making sugar cookies while rocking out to the Osmond and Beach Boy Christmas albums. Thanks to mom too for the gingerbread kit. That house with “Bleb” turned out pretty awesome!

We stayed at my Uncle Joe’s Condo with Joe and his family.  It was so fun to spend time with them!

Loved seeing Bob, Alayna and Tyler meet Ellie for the 1st time.  Doesnt he look like an awesome Grandpa?

Exhaustingly wonderful and wonderfully exhausting!

We headed out Thursday as soon as we got off work and school.  We stayed the night in Omaha and then traveled the entire next day to Silt, Colorado.

Then we headed to go see the new Star Wars movie!  Jonathan rented a theater just for our extended family.  I loved the movie and I loved getting to hold Ellie! But we never got pictures with all our star wars gear on.

It’s been so busy and I cant seem to keep up with everything!  We leave this Thursday night to head to St. George for Christmas.  We are so excited to see the kids, see Star Wars, relax and have an amazing Christmas break together!!!

Tyler has been doing awesome at his job.  Even though he is worn out, he has some awesome stories.  He said the other day he sat in his car and was so extremely grateful for the silence. I think he gets it now.

Over Thanksgiving break we finally got to celebrate Bob and Tyler’s birthdays.  Better late than never right?

Alayna is doing awesome. She is applying for an internship during the summer as a vet assistant. She is the Mia Maid president.

There was an “incident “ with the twins mom and dad so we got custody of the babies for a few days. She is planning to move back to Chicago to get family support in March when her lease is up.  We will miss them but we know its for the best.
