The holidays are over!!



Okay, now that the holidays are over I finally have some time! We had a great Christmas, even though Derek did have to work. As usual we were able to have all of the kids together and everyone was happy, with the exception of one small incident involving a bike helmet. Otherwise, all was good and uneventful. We did end up traveling to Witchita Falls to see Derek's parents the day after Christmas which was really fun. I love getting to spend time with everyone and Kathy always has such awesome things planned for the kids, they never get bored! Even though we did have one small issue with going to feed carrots to the groundhogs. It was December and guess what...groundhogs hibernate!! I bet you knew that, huh? We compromised by trying to throw the carrots into their little holes in the ground. An activity that was fun for the kids but I'm sure really ticked off a couple of sleeping groundhogs!! We decided we would go to feed the Canadian Geese instead and that was so cool. There were so many of them I felt like we were in an Alfred Hitchcock movie. We had a great time and I can't wait to go back, although I wish we could fly instead of drive!
