Christmas Eve

This year for Christmas Eve, due to the downpour, we took a "canoe trip" to Batesville to spend Christmas with VeVe's side of the family. The trip was probably the most stressful carride I've ever been in considering that drowning in a car is my biggest fear and we saw water up to pinto-sized car doors. At one point I was in tears for what seemed like hours, while Drew was laughing at me rather than comforting me. Ha...I can't wait to chase him with an oak branch (he's badly allergic to them)!

Once we made it to shore, though, we had a good time. ME rode up with VeVe and D-dub earlier in the day so she could play with all of the cousins. Aunt "Mom Tom" and Uncle "Big Mac's" house always provides for a good time for the kiddos with the horses, playhouse, and everything else.


Maybe she'll get to ride the horse next year.

Can I touch?

Mom Tom has a ton of those dancing/singing characters. ME loved them all as well as the ornaments!

The kids thought that a dog and horses weren't enough, so they brought a hamster, too. ME loved watching it! Hopefully, that's as close as we'll ever be to owning one.

Benjamin even got to join in on some conversations. Benjamin's telling VeVe and ME all about our "float trip" on the way up to Batesville.
