Christmas with our families!!

Wow, I've been on vacation for a long time and haven't gotten a chance to blog. We had a wonderful time over Christmas and New Years. I started the holidays off with a trip to Springfield. I got to bake cookies with my niece, Caroline and my mom, otherwise known as Meema. That night we all opened gifts together. Matt had to fly until Christmas day, so he didn't get to join in all of the fun. Bummer!

I left Springfield for Tulsa on Christmas Eve. My mom went to go stay with my grandmother over Christmas and my brother went to his in-laws. This left me by myself. I got to stay with Matt's parents and hang out with his brother, Mike. We all went over to Grandma's house for a big Christmas Eve dinner. I had a great time! Everyone went back over to Grandma's house all day on Christmas. Matt flew in and met us there that afternoon! I was so glad to have him there! We didn't end up celebrating Christmas with his immediate family until Friday night. It was a blast!!! We all went to Charlestons for dinner and then back to Bill and Pam's house to open hundreds of gifts!!! Literally!!!

Everyone at dinner!
