Soooo, we're a little behind.

time to play catch-up...

the final verdict on staying the night with grandma and papa is that you LOVED it. and they loved it. and so, it's definitely something we'll do again sometime. i was a little lonely, but i did get a lot done. thanks, Grandma and Papa!

later that week, after grandma and papa's, we went and picked up daddy and sam at the airport. you were a little bit shy with daddy at first, but you were so happy to see him, and sam too.

then, a couple days later, we headed to bartlesville to begin the Christmas celebrating. Christmas really was a great time. we spent Christmas Eve celebrating with all your cousins, and your two great grandmas, great uncle, and grandma and pappy.

You loved holding your baby cousin, Kayla. any time she would fuss, you would hug her and say, "it's okay, baby..it's okay..."

you also loved riding on your cousins' scooters. you're going to be a daredevil. i am already mentally preparing.

at night, you and sam slept together on a pallet we made you on the floor. you two looked so sweet. i think we'll get you bunk beds soon, so you can enjoy sharing a room before you get old enough to be annoyed at each others' existence.

I know it's going to be so fun to look back at these pictures with you, some day, and talk about the good times we have had as a family.

i love you!

love, mom
