We had almost a full week off to spend with family in Wisconsin around Christmas. The girls were able to spend time with Uncle Corey during the week and have two big Christmas celebrations while we were there. Ally began to struggle with nightmare issues the night before we left and her irrational fear of Santa sort of made for some difficulties at times. She was not feeling her best but was still able to visit with Andrea and Robbie (and soon to be baby boy) and play at the indoor water park at the Y with Uncle Mark, Uncle Corey, Corey and Grandpa Dew. Hadley had a lot of fun, she is at a much better stage than Ally was at her first Christmas. She was able to unwrap presents, play with toys and she really loved looking at the trees.
Following our trip back we then had our own small family Christmas at our house with the girls and then one last celebration with Karl's family. The girls got so many great gifts from so many people that love them. At first I was wondering what we were going to do with all their new toys and where we would put them. Soon after the first of the year the Polar Vortex hit and we were snowed in and trapped at home for 3 days. Good thing we had all those new toys because we went through them all, many times over!
