Life is Good!  Jay and I just got back from Mexico.  I believe this is the first real vacation we have had without our kids in the almost 17 years of marriage....So we deserved it!  We had a blast and got to do things we had never done before, like snorkeling.  Jay is a fan!  He is ready for scuba diving classes now.  

We spent Christmas Eve at my sister's house.  We had dinner there and Santa came and brought the kids a candy/peanut bag.  It is always a blast and becoming a family tradition.

Christmas brought our family together and I am very thankful for all of my many blessings and my family.  We had Christmas dinner at my mom's. We then went to Jay's mom's and got caught in a blizzard on our way back to my mom's.  The next day, we went to Jay's dad's house and visited with him.  In the afternoon, we went sledding.  It was fun.  I haven't done that in years.
