Family Update's

1. Lincoln and I went to Houston on Friday for the Lucek Family Christmas Party. Had to leave Lawson and Ron home: Lawson is sick (again), had to do breathing treatments, etc.... BUT, Lincoln and I had a very nice time over at Tom and Court's for our party. The WHOLE family was able to make it. We drove in for the DAY, yes we are crazy. Yes, it was a 5 hr drive EACH way. We spent twice as much time that day in the car than in Houston. LONG day, but worth every minute traveling. We came home with a Suburban PACKED FULL with toys and presents for the boys.... THANKS everyone, you really spoiled them this year!!! And the toys have kept them BUSY while anticipating Santa coming.... Since Lawson didn't make it, he has been able to open up presents one by one every once in awhile.....

2. Reaah and Jeremy are on the flight home AS WE speak... We enjoyed their stay, they spoiled the boys as well.... They will be back in the summer????

3. We all loaded up 9 people in our hot tub last night. That was fun, and quite relaxing!! Lincoln LOVED it... Then came in for delicious dessert made by Nanny.

4. We had our "christmas dinner" last night with Reaah and Jer, had turkey and ham and ALL the fixins... Prepared 199% by Nanny, thanks and sorry for not being able to help. But, it took 5 of us to clean up the kitchen..... Teamwork!!

5. Daniel Varner, Ron's cousin was fortunate enough to be able to fly in for a visit with us for the holidays before he has to return to Iraq. Lincoln has enjoyed giving up his room for a "real soldier" to sleep in!! We have enjoyed Daniel's visit, and the boy's love playing with him!!

6. We will go to our Christmas Service at our church at 5 then head out to eat. Santa will be here tonight!! Lincoln can't wait to leave out the cookies and carrots....
