Merry Christmas to all!! We marvel at the awesomeness of being blessed with the birth of our Savior!! Happy Birthday Jesus!
Today, on Christmas, we spent a quiet day at home just the 3 (4) of us. It looks like a tornado swept through while we were gone, these is stuff piled EVERYWHERE. Joe spent time relaxing on the couch (he's had enough activity to last him the next 4 months I think), Rhea opened and checked out all her new gifts, and I went around trying to make a little sense of the chaos. Grammy Kay came over to visit in the afternoon and we had roast and potatoes for supper. A short nap and too much sugar made for a rather unhappy toddler so she went to bed early.
We've been in Amherst this last week with the Heermann side and then celebrated Christmas at Kay's on Christmas Eve. It was great to be able to visit Papa and Gramma for a few days. We arrived on Wednesday, thankfully before all the crazy snowfall! Wednesday and Thursday were spent mostly baking and playing. Rhea was 'Gramma's girl' most all the time so Mommy did a lot of the baking and Gramma did a lot of the playing. Friday evening we opened gifts with Papa, Gramma & Uncle Matt. Then on Saturday afternoon the extended family arrived, Mangels & Inloes. We opened gifts in the afternoon, had a wonderful soup supper then played some games into the night. Sunday the Inloes headed for Norfolk to spend some time with Great Grandma Francis (in the nursing home recovering from a broken hip), the Mangels, Dixsons & Heermanns went to church then had soup reruns for lunch before departing.
Below is a slideshow of our time in Amherst.... (I'll follow with another post with info/pictures from Kay's.
