Home to Hickory

We left on December 23rd to go home to Hickory for some time with Mom and Dad. Jon was excited to get the kids into the snow (which had fallen on the 18th and was still there). Jon and the kids went sledding in the back yard...fun times. We enjoyed playing Wii, eating good food, making cookies, building with blocks and playing cards while we were home. We of course too, loved giving Granna and Pops their gifts. Thank you to them for the sweet gifts to us. Thank you too for watching the kids so Jon and I could enjoy an anniversary dinner. I was able too, to catch up with Leigh Ann, Kellie and their boys while we were home. These are two precious ladies, with beautiful boys and I love them all dearly. It was good to be home for a few days!

Before heading out to dinner at the Olive Garden for our 6 year anniversary!

Dad spent time with Ava building with the bricks. Dad had these as a kid, played them with me as a kid and now is enjoying sharing them with Ava. Thanks Mom for working so hard to clean and sanitize them!

Dad and Ava had a blast!

Making Cookies

When Kellie, Leigh Ann and I (plus 5 kids) get together it is always a photo op...or we at least attempt. This time was no different. We did get a couple of good shots, but the majority of our pictures capture "true moments" of what it is like when we try to get a decent picture. Most of you moms will understand...

Not too bad...

Classic...

Got one...Walker was distracted by the car on the couch.

Love these ladies...Kellie and Leigh Ann are my best friends from college and I love them dearly. They are amazing women and great moms to their little boys.

I'm blessed to them in my life!
