Holiday Traditions Festival

Another holiday tradition is the opening of gifts. We do ours a little early since we have a blended family. Jeremy usually spends Christmas with his dad, and Christopher and Anthony will be with their mom. So we opened a couple gifts Thursday night, and the rest were opened Friday morning.

Happy 1st Birthday, Preston!

I had already posted how I found out I was pregnant with Preston in this post, but I never really told his birth story.

Our Vacation

We got back Friday evening just before I had to go to work. We had a great time. You think with a van that you have all the room in the world, but you don’t. Especially when you have a family of seven. I said before that it was a 3 hour drive, [...]
