I just love hanging out with family. We’ve had a great day today. We had a nice big lunch/dinner and then we opened gifts. The girls got Glow Worms from Grandma and Papa and some toys that they can play with when they are sitting up. Emma just loves attention, she loves “talking” and laughing with everyone. Ava is sweet, she just sits around and watches soaking everything up. I think Ava is getting a cold again, poor baby. But they have been having lots of fun.

I miss my side of the family. It’s always worse around the holidays. This is only the second Christmas ever where I didn’t see them at all for Christmas. My mom (Grammy) made the girls these adorable little capes with hoods, they are so cute. She also embroidered on some overalls and little jackets and added lace to them. I can’t wait for them to fit! I’m sure they will in no time, they are growing so fast!

Preston is getting his pilots license soon, he only has 2 flights left and then his final tests, so we’re planning a trip up to WA to visit my side of the family really soon. I can’t wait! I’m excited to have Preston fly us! After he gets his private pilot license he’s going to continue on with school still and hopefully get a job either being a flight instructor or flying for a cargo place or something like that. Both are good for building his flight hours. I’m so proud of him. He’s wanted to be a pilot since he was little and he finally got the support he needed to accomplish one of his lifelong dreams.

Anyway, I need to go pick up the kitchen and 1st floor. There are so many crickets again… it’s getting really old. My vacuum gets full of crickets. I might just try to find some disposable gloves and just pick them up and toss them outside. Ugh.
