MishAl and the Fam: December 2008

Hi everybody! It's been a while since I wrote, so I figured I'd get on and update. I don't know why the font is underlined and I'm not quite sure how to remove it, so I hope it's not too aggrivating. We've had a great couple of months. We spent Thanksgiving with my family here in Ely. It was absolutely awesome. Kyle and Joy came to stay with us for a week and we couldn't have had more fun. It was really great. Joy and I spent all day on Thanksgiving day cooking together and that was awesome, too. We have missed them so much, it was great to be able to spend that time with them. Audrey also came up and spent Thanksgiving weekend with us. We had so much fun. The kids all have such a great time spending time together.

We've had a great Christmas today, as well. It sure has been busy, but we've enjoyed ourselves. Kris and Lindsay have been visiting, so that's been nice. They're only about five weeks (maybe 6) from becoming parents, so that's pretty exciting. We're so excited for the kids to meet their cousin Adelaide. This has been a great year for Jackson as he's really been able to understand things this year. I couldn't hardly get anything wrapped beforehand because he was always wanting to give me a hand. He got a great tool set so he can help his daddy fix things around the house. Audrey was with her mom most of the day today, but she did get to come over for a few hours and get her presents. She has a birthday coming up next week. She turns 6 on Tuesday...I can't hardly believe it. Layla had a good Christmas, as well. She got mostly clothes, but she was cool with that.

Things are going well with Al and I. We're coming up on our third wedding anniversary next month, so that is pretty great. Erica has moved in with us. That's been pretty fun. The kids really love it. She's been babysitting them and they absolutely love it. She's an awesome aunt and they love her to death.

Other than that, things are pretty much the same. I think I'll leave this post at that because I'm absolutely exhausted...thus explaining why this post is somewhat incoherent. Love and miss everyone, check out the pics below!
