Christmas...oh how we miss you!!!

Well, it's been way too long since I've updated this blog. I think this year I am going to give it a real good honest try at it...wish me luck!

We had a wonderful Christmas, which I am so happy to report! Christmas time for me, is a bit of a double edged sword if you will. Chase was diagnosed TWO YEARS ago with his diabetes at this very same time. December 21, 2007. When Christmas time rolls around, I can't help but to be a little nervous. Happily and thankfully - nothing tragic! Just some runny noses and coughs traded amongst the cousins. Nothing we can' t recover from...

The Texas Johnson's made it our for Christmas. They came to our freezing temps, foggy and wintery white climate! Which all made Christmas feel very Christmasy this year.
We enjoyed a week of nonstop playing!!! As the kids get older, they have more and more fun each time they see each other. Rylie is 6 yrs, Taylor is 5 yrs, Chase is 4 yrs and Aubrey is 3 yrs! We thoroughly enjoyed the week long visit...and as it turned out, a week flew by and it just didn't feel like it was long enough. We were sad to see them go!!!
Tonight, Chase had a meltdown! As I'm asking my son why he is crying (I'm expecting to hear he's afraid of the dark or something) he tells me how much he misses Taylor and Aubrey and he just doesn't get to see them EVER! 
I try to explain to my 4 yr old that I feel his pain, but his cousins live a long ways from us. And we have to get on a big airplane to see them....he doesn't believe me. :)

I got a AWESOME new camera for Christmas! My sister in-law Tiffini has officially made me a picture taking fool...and I love it. I just downloaded my camera tonight. So since getting it on December 19th - my camera has taken 575 pictures!!! Oh me oh my!!! 
I wanted to include some of my faves....enjoy!
I hope everyone's Christmas and New Year was amazing...
