Chr!stmas with Grandmother and Poppie

Though being away from family during the holidays is one of the hardest things we've ever done, being able to talk and see everyone on Chr!stmas Day helped so much. We were able to see videos and pictures from both our families ... how thankful we are they took the extra time to make sure we got to be a part of things. The time together seemed to really help the kids and us. We were also thankful that we were able to do a little gift exchange from so far away. Grandmother and Poppie's gift didn't arrive until after Chr!stmas, so we were able to extend the fun a little longer when we received one package on Wednesday and another on Thursday. The first one came around 3:00 AM Arkansas time, so we called and woke Grandmother up so she could watch (thanks to Skype)!! Fun times as we laughed and enjoyed being together in the same room!!

Emma can now cook in Princess-style!!

The second package came the next day ... with a little Razorback theme going on for some!

Noah enjoying some Chr!stmas M&Ms...

No candy canes here, so we were all excited about these!!

May not be able to tell from the picture, but we got 2 cans of Rotel and Velveeta cheese ... one of the biggest blessings from this box!! Another blessing was the Marshmallows!!

Thank you, Grandmother and Poppie, for prying for us and loving us the way you do!! We love you both and are so thankful for you!!
