Family in December

It was a treat to spend insane amounts of time with my family this holiday season. I was able to see my Dad's brother & his family as well. They were in town to visit my dad's parents who are weren't doing well in rehab. They thought it may be the last time to see them so they came to visit. The grandparents are doing better but their recovery is very slow and if they don't fully recover we may have to seek out a full care nursing home to place them in so keep them in your prayers.

I was able to catch up with my cousin Blake. We use to tell each other stories and stick needles through grass hopper heads. We were able to catch up one night at Denny's and able to hang with my guy friends at a wings place another night. It is wild how he hasn't changed much over the years but has grown into a respectful man.

I was at my sister's place quite a few times and spent a few nights hanging out with my brother in law. It will probably be the last time Matt and I hang out at night as he is leaving his patrol beat to work in a school. He will work the 9 - 5 and be able to spend more time with his family!

Denise, Noah, & I celebrated Christmas with my mother. She was super excited to see Noah and gave him half a dozen gifts...ah to be young and make out like a bandit at Christmas time! Noah had more fun tearing the wrapping paper off his gifts then playing with his gifts.

At one point my sister made the comment she was thinking about having another one!! WOW!

I don't talk too much about my family and usually don't spend as much time with them over the Holidays as I did this year. This year was nice & the time spent with the family was great!
