Our Christmas was awesome! We spent it in Earlysville, Virginia with my family: Mom and Dad; Ryan, Teresa, and Cletus the fetus; Kirk, Gretchen, and Carter; Candice and Craig.
We hung out a lot, played lots of games, went bowling, went on a hike, (Sidenote: Dan was depressed that he couldn't scale a rock like Kirk did so he decided to take a dip in the FREEZING cold water. I've got a video. I'll post it later if I remember.)

got family pictures taken,
played mini-golf (I came in second out of 7), went go-kart racing (I came in 11th out of 11... Don't get me started),
and went to the Museum of the Confederacy and Confederate White House in Richmond.
I also gained 3 pounds which is better than I thought. I could have sworn I gained about 10 with my mom's delicious cooking. But maybe C&C's moroccan chili made my stomach turn enough to keep some of my holiday sweet cravings at bay. Ha! Just kidding. I actually liked it.
Also, on New Year's Eve I got to see one of my BFFs - Katrina Rice - and her adorable baby girl, Juliet. I want Sam and Juliet to get married, but she wasn't all that interested to tell you the truth. That's okay. For now. She's got 21 years to come around.

It was so nice to be together as a family and I hope that it happens again sooner rather than later.

You're a good mom. After about half those calls I would have given up and hoped Sam could just use his odd shaped head as a handicap he could write about in his college applications

I love Sam's santa suit! I'm sorry to hear about his head. I've been worried that Caden might have that because he seems to favor one side over the other.

PS. Sam's got new competition for Juliet so watch out! :)
