Back home just in time for Christmas! Wahooo!


Well North Carolina was great fun! We loved seeing everybody again and seeing their house and school! It's always easier to picture the ones you miss after seeing their surroundings. After nearly 10 hours of traveling via car, plane, sprinting by foot to catch a connecting flight, (with a sleeping Ethan, holding Mylie, and carrying a little too much luggage) plane and car again we finally made it home! It really was a miracle! The second flight we caught had some stand by passengers that didn't even make it on! They must of felt sorry for us seeing that we were dripping with sweat and carrying two kids and all of our luggage on Christmas Eve. Whatever it was, I'm glad it worked. We got on the plane about 5-10 minutes before take off and they even some how managed to transfer all of our luggage to this flight that we weren't even listed on!








Jeff surprised me by finally finishing Mylie's bedroom. We have been trying to find time to do this since she was born! Yea! He also cleaned the entire house including bathrooms, laundry and vacuuming! What a good man!




Mylie surrounded by her Christmas presents! She looks a little stunned!



Ethan and his pile of fun! He was most excited that he got dragons, dinosaurs and elephants (exactly what he asked for) He also loved his race car ramp and remote control tractor!



Ethan has been looking forward to an army guy B-day party ever since his last B-day party. So we decided it would be fun to surprise him with an army outfit! I also found a matching army outfit for his dog at all a dollar!



Frazier side Jammie picture (given to the kids by G-ma Frazier) with cousins from out of town. Ethan loved playing with Cassie, Mandi, and Tasha! I don't remember seeing him much while they were here!



Clark side Jammie picture! Ethan is not so thrilled this time about getting his picture taken. My mom's tradition is to give all the kids new P.J.'s on Christmas Eve to wear for Christmas.
(She did this when we were little too) The kids all love it and put them on immediately every year. What a fun tradition! Thanks Mom!

We were very happy to have you guys back in town for us! I know it would have been fun to be with the Roarks, but I am selfish! :-) Merry Christmas!
