Christmas 2011

Hey Y'All!   So, to quickly summarize our fun vacation:

We left before Christmas and drove, yes drove across the country to have Christmas with Michael's family.   It took 3 days.   We were hoping for 2 1/2, but we had a bad night the first night and Michael and I were just to tired to drive anymore. 

We arrived just in time to enjoy all the Christmas festivities and stayed through New Years. We had Parties and played Pounce. We visited Grandma (and she was so happy to see Michael she cried.) and my cousin Serina.  The boys sufficient harasses John Wayne.  We watched the Packer's Game.  We made Stollen and painted cookies.  We visited the Kids Commons too.  Michael and I went on a lunch date and went to the Cummins Headquarters and Power Store and then to a museum/fountain restaurant.  We also went to the Louisville Temple.  In 10 days, we were busy!

It was great to see family, have lots of babysitters, lots of things to keep us busy and the kids loved it.  Landen would tell me at night, "Mom, I like the Busselbergs."  He still tells, "Remember When we Went to Busselbergs and Santa Claus Came?" 

Yep. Still Remember. 

We headed home, and stopped at the John Deere Headquarters. Landen keep telling me, "Mom, I wish I could have a combine like that at my house." haha. Wouldn't that make a toy!  We made it home in 2 very long days.  And it seems like we've just got settled back into our routine.
