Friday Foto overload...Watch Out!

This is foto overload! this is the last 2 weeks of our crazy holiday break. New years, Christmas, Christmas eve, New Years, New Year's eve, Sea world, Ashley's Baptism,Lego Land, California Beaches...and lots more. We had a fun 2 weeks. Definetly with laughs, Family, tears, Friends, drama, but lots of fun! We had some tiring days and they caught up to Ethan on Sunday when he came down sick sunday and monday and it hit me thurs and friday. I have been home sick as a dog. I hate being sick! thanks for the kind calls and emails from loved ones. This was a busy time for us, but lots and lots of fun. Santa brought the kids all Nintendo Ds games, Kary got A real knife set and a pair of tenny runners, David got a whole thing of tools. We have been very blessed and we are greatful for all the time we got to spend with our loved friends and family.
