A Christmas to Remember.....

We had such a beautiful Christmas this year! We really missed having Andi here with us but were lucky enough to be able to share the holiday with her via the web cam. I believe in miracles - again! I was so worried that Andi wouldn't receive her Christmas package on time. Her box came in the very last Christmas shipment the day before Christmas....Nicci couldn't fly home until Christmas Eve. There was only one flight that was an option and it was over sold......somehow a seat became available just before they closed the doors for the flight and she got the last seat and made it home for Christmas! There was a big storm moving in - so Kristen and Jeremy called and said they were going to come early and spend Christmas Eve and Christmas day with us which made the holiday so much fun for all of us! We are sooo blessed. My cup runneth over! What a Christmas this was!

Road trip with Zeke.....

We sure had a fun week-end. We loaded Zeke up in the car Friday morning and headed to Mesquite for Jessica's wedding. We met up with Nicci there. Zeke was so excited to see her. The wedding was absolutely beautiful. It was fun seeing all of the Abbotts. They really know how to throw a party in Mesquite! The next day we got together with Lee's brothers and sisters for dinner. What a great family they are! Nicci hooked us up with a great room in St. George. We really had a fun trip with Zeke. He is such a great kid and such a riot to travel with...
A fun memory for us........
