Festivities

We have been thoroughly enjoying the holiday season!  On Friday the 13th, I took the kids and we went to visit my mom and family for a week.  We had decided some time ago to do it that way this year.  It allowed us to keep many of our old traditions, while still giving us plenty of time to start new ones here in our new town. While we were there we shopped downtown, baked more goodies than I can count, watched Christmas movies, went to their new church, and sewed some gifts for our friends.  It was nice to have so much fun and not feel rushed at all.  Now we are home and the daunting task of putting everything away is complete.  I am very much looking forward to this Christmas weekend and we have some really fun things planned!
