Sandy Toes & Salty Kisses: January 2011

This Christmas we had the opportunity to go back home to Virginia! I was really excited to see both of my sisters for 2 whole weeks:) We enjoyed good food, good laughs, and just good times in general! Jake came after 1 week, and then after Christmas Ryan and his family came. It was great to see everybody and see all the grandkids playing and having fun together! It was great hearing sarah say... or scream "TUCKER!!!!" haha, she is the sweetest, tiniest little thing with the biggest voice!! We loved it. Mom actually took time off from work which she should definatly do more often! It was fun to be able to have her not HAVING to be on the phone or computer :) I love my mom, and having her all to us makes me very happy! We had snow the whole time we were there so it was fun to see Kurtis go out and sled and play in the snow with Derick and Katie! We rocked out on Glee Kareoke and Disney Sing It. Even tho Derick is a cheater and we WILL have a rematch one day ;) haha, jk jk. We loved being avble to see Nanny a bunch, Tucker loves Nanny and just laughs and laughs when he is with her.. We made Stew as soon as Jake got in, it was so great this year (thanks to me and my cooking skills lol ;) Katie you KNOW what im referring to haha) and im sad i only got 2 bowls... sad sad day... But it was great spending time together and having Tucker there for his first Stewing! We are so grateful for our family and the opportunity we had to spend time with them! We cant wait until we get to see yall again!!!!! Summer cant come fast enough!

Kurtis and Tucker.

Jake and Tucker before going out to stew. Nanny gave Jake Poppas leather jacket to wear. He smelled just like Poppa.. It was nice to have that smell while stewing! Thats probably why it turned out so good this year;)
