We just returned last night after a wonderful and relaxing Christmas with Daddy's family. We stayed a day longer than we had planned! What a way to bring in the New Year!!!

Let's rewind a bit, shall we?

Sunday night:
we arrived at Nana Judy and Bapa Ron's house! We had a yummy supper and then opened a few gifts!

Here is Avery opening up a gift card to Barnes and Noble! What a perfect gift for this little reader! Thanks Uncle DJ and Aunt Rachelle!!!

Bapa Ron got a hilarious funny gift...I don't think I need to explain any more...

Aunt Holly and Uncle Jon gifted Rachelle and DJ (and baby to be) with some cute little baby toys!

We hadn't seen Nana and Bapa since before Liv's 2nd birthday, so she got to open up a cute little present. It's a "Little Mommy" doll, that blows out the candle on a talking cake! It's really cute!

Liv enjoyed a bite of cake herself!

Awwww....Uncle DJ and Aunt Rachelle....their baby is due next Thursday!!!!

Monday:
Liv got into some gifts under the tree. Nana caught her opening up this one, and had to take a photo of her "caught in the act." Gotta keep your eye on this little girl of mine!

We went to Qudoba for lunch!!! It is oh so yummy! Here I am with Aunt Rachelle!

We spent some of the afternoon shopping, and then the girls were pooped....

Aunt Holly and Livie cuddling!

A few of us ventured out to the mall real quick, and I bought the new baby 2 outfits...Can't wait to see which one baby will actually wear!

Aunt Holly and Uncle Jon!

Nana Judy!

Avery doing some sort of coloring activity!

Tuesday:
The ladies all had a Ladies Brunch while the men watched some kiddos! Uncle Jon's niece and nephew came over to play! Avery LOVED playing with Katrina!!! They had a couple play dates this trip!

Supper time!!! - Kid table

Adult Table

After supper there was a intense debate going on, and Aunt Holly and I thought doing the dishes was much more enjoyable then being involved!

Avery was busy downstairs giving birth, and Katrina was the doctor! Avery had a son named Patrick...in case you were wondering...

After Uncle Jon's family left, we had our opening of gifts!!!!

And, here is my family....ahhhhh.......love....
