Christmas with the family!

Well we are finally home after being able to spend the holidays with Sean's family in Mass. Luckily we made it after the ice storm and after they got their power and water back on. What a blessing to have such a wonderful family. The kids had a blast and when it was over there were more than enough tears. We had a blast sledding, going the the aquarium in Boston, learning how to butcher deer, playing wii, and just having fun with Grandparents, cousins and aunts and uncles. Christmas was fun and we were very blessed. We got to talk to our missionary! I can't believe how much he's changing. I think it's been harder for me since talking to him. What a blessing he is to our family! The kids handled 2 days flying too and from Boston, they really do a great job! The hardest thing for Lia was being away from school for so long. She was sure her teacher was at school and she was missing something. We left Boston and it was minus 2 and arrived in Phx. and it was 68 and there were flowers and plants blooming all around. It was hard for Sam to realize he didn't have to have a jacket on to go outside. Anyway this time of year makes me always realize how blessed we are to have such amazing families and friends. We love you! Happy new year! I'll post a few pics and figure out how to post more later!
