It has been so long since I wrote and I have a lot of catching up to do..I plan to still upload photos from Christmas so stay tuned for those. We travelled to Dallas on the 23rd of December and stayed with Brian and Holly and the girls; Ava, Maya and Lexi. I think the girls were a bit disappointed when they realized that Finn was no longer a baby! They had not seen him since Scott and Amanda's wedding in October of 2010 when Finn was 7 weeks old and expected him to still be small. Max and Finn had a blast with their cousins! They enjoyed all kinds of outings, including Going Bonkers, Jump Street, the dinosaur museum trails and the Forth Worth Zoo. Brent, the boys and I visited Jenny and her family together with Carin, Jim and their daughters and with Helene Honeybone. It was so fun to see everyone! Jenny's boys are so big now. Jonathan and Max are close in age so they hung out for a bit. Carin and Jim keep busy taking care of Mia and the twins Emma and Julia. They all came up to visit us a few days later at Holly and Brian's house when Brent and I were asked to be God parents to Julia! We accepted of course! Holly arranged for baby sitters one evening and us adults were able to enjoy a fabulous dinner out. Very nice. We kept it simple on New Years Eve with dinner at home and we flew home early the next morning. It was an adjustment to get the boys back on schedule and I am thankful for having another day off as we got home. The new year is going well so far. We are back at work and the boys are doing well with being at school. The weather has been amazing for being the month of January and I assume we can't be this lucky for much longer. We are thankful for our wonderful family, our amazing boys and the fabulous lives we are fortunate to live. Here is to a great 2012!
