It's hard to believe that Christmas has already come and gone. My family came in in phases and we are leaving the same way. The short time that we did all get the spend together was good and included a bit of Wii.

Unfortunately sickness set in Christmas night and Ellie, Dane and Aunt Jenney all ended up getting a bug. We felt so bad for them!

The little time Samantha did get the play with the cousins she loved. She copies Ellie and everything she does and we are learning that she and Dane are just close enough in age (3 months apart) and they disagree often:)

Blake enjoyed his first Christmas and is enjoying his gifts. He was in a great mood both Christmas Eve and Christmas day.

Travis left for home today and we're headed back to Tennessee and reality tomorrow.

Samantha helped BeBe make this popcorn Christmas tree. She said, "Papa will be impressed!"

Blake is becoming quite adventurous, tonight I found him at the top of my parents stairs. It's a good thing we're leaving when we are.
