Tis the Season

I realized today that this post has been sitting in drafts since January!! Better late than never.



I cannot believe 2012 has slipped out the door. Christmas for us lasted almost all month long. We had Christmas at grandma and grandpa Olsen's where the girls gave their grandparents and unexpected gift...

a brand new toilet ( a bit of a gag gift from Sam)

I swear it has never been used.

 then we had Christmas at home when a special visitor made a surprise appearance...

 and then as December came to a close, we ventured our way south the longest road trip the girls have ever taken.

What little troopers though! All the way to Oklahoma they traveled like champs. For the first time my babies got to meet their great grandma and grandpa Sweet, aka. Mema and Papa. What a treat for all of us to be able to visit my grandparents. It was such a special occasion that Santa even showed up to fill the girls' stockings early so they could have toys as soon as they got there. We were able to spend almost a week before we drove all the way back home. After 48 round trip on the road, it was nice to back in my own home.
