home for Christmas

Thank you Christmas Exodus! The twins have gone 6 months with out seeing each other. We got to the airport a bit late and Dee found us first! She was squeeling and her hair was bouncing and the sisters grabbed each other and hugged for a few minutes.
Then we took her home and dad was waiting. They hugged and cried for about 5 minutes. This was awesome and we all cried and laughed together.
She was only home for 2 weeks so we wanted to make the best of it! We hung out at home. Dee made cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning and we made tamales for New Years.
Karissa and Nate came down Christmas eve and flew out to Oklahoma on Christmas afternoon.
Dee and her dad. The best part about this picture is the fact that they are looking the same. glasses, bottle, and you cant see it but they both have on flannel plaid pj pants.


As you can see, our cats love Christmas too. Rage is tromping in all the wrapping paper, Leeloo is eating my tree.

Oh and yes, those are zip ties holding the branches that I cut off that made my tree look lame. I got kudos from Eddie and Nate for my engineering genius.
