Holiday Break

Since college, this has been the longest and most relaxing break I have ever had. Now that I work at ULM, we get a holiday break that can't be beat!

Before we left Monroe, we welcomed Keith's parent's and one of their friends to watch Keith's home tournament. Besides watching basketball, there were so many activities we were able to do and lots of sight seeing. I had so much fun taking them around Monroe and showing them all the "hot spots". I am so glad they could come down and spend a couple days since Keith's break isn't as long over the holidays.

Shortly after they had left, Keith headed to Vegas with his basketball team and I headed North, for the holidays! Our family celebrated Christmas early, so everyone could be there, as well as, make their other sides of the family also. Our weekend started loud, and pretty much just got louder. With 9-10 adults in the house, plus four kids all under the age of 4, what do you expect. After getting used to it, we had a blast! There was lots of laughter, games, SNOW, and gifts. It was so much fun to have everyone together and just spend time with each other.  The kids love being together and it is so much fun to watch them all grow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On actual Christmas, it was down to dad, mom, and I. We did nothing! It was so much fun to lay around and watch Christmas movies all day. We actually ended up doing that for the next two days and watched almost every Hallmark movie there was. The next couple days included meeting up with friends, spending time with the family that was left, playing cards, and going to the new Hunger Games movie, "Catching Fire".

I had such a great time being able to spend it with my family.  I am so blessed and realize, again how lucky I really am to have such amazing family and friends in my life. I am excited to start this new year and see what life has to bring!!
