All I want for Christmas is to go HOME!!!!

 Dustin on our new horse Rio!!!!  We went for a Christmas Day ride.  It was kind of chilly but absolutely wonderful!!!  I had such a great time.  Sadly it was the most I had been outside in weeks.  In Missouri I go from home to work and then back home and most of the time it's to and from work in the dark, so this was a wonderful afternoon!!!

 This is me on Koda!!

 What an absolute doll!!!  I haven't got to be around this little one very much so it took him a few days to warm up to me, but once we became friends we had a spectacular time building towers of blocks and knocking them down.  By the way he has got the deepest cutest laugh ever!!

 Grandma Carol reading to Josie. Josie absolutely loves stories.  Aunt Kel got her fair share of reading too!!!!  But I didn't mind!

 My two cute boys getting ready to go to church and bless Pailey!

 This is their attempt at a mad face! :-)

 My little niece isn't so little anymore.  In fact she is a gorgeous teenager!!!!  But she isn't taller than me yet..............we are still just even!

 Getting ready to head back to Missouri.  I had such a blast while I was home!!!  I got to sleep in, go shopping with Mom and Kris. Meet two new nieces; play with all my nieces and nephews, eat fantastic food, make caramels and fudge, ride horses, pick up heifers, weigh and work calves in negative degree weather.  I got to play card games almost every night and all in all have a wonderful ten days with the people I love the most!

 My favorite person in the world sitting in front of a buried car on our street.  We got 15-17 inches of snow in one day. 

The Toyota looked really funny with this snowdrift on top of it!!!  I didn't have to go to work on Tuesday or Wednesday and Dustin didn't go to school on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.  People in Missouri all ready over-react to six inches of snow.  You should have seen the chaos of 18!!!  People cleared out the grocery stores of eggs, milk, and bread!  It's not like we were snowed in for a week!! Funny people!  They must have been planning on eating a lot of french toast and eggs!!!

Well that pretty well catches up our latest adventure.  Upcoming includes Dusting going home for Spring break and Kelli starting nursing school in May!
