Christmas 2014 is now history and we enjoyed it to the fullest! Mark and I flew to Peoria, IL on Dec. 20th for a week's stay at Megan and Andy's home. It was fun watching the kids' excitement as the big day approached and their fun on Christmas morning. We usually visit after the 25th so this was especially fun for us to be with them on the actual day!
The weather was very mild which I must admit was a big plus for cold weather hating grandma! We were able to be outside riding on new toys or going for a walk with Sox. I think the weather has since turned bitter cold so I feel lucky for the temps we had during our week.
The day of our arrival was highlighted by attending Drew and Kayley's basketball game. They play on the same team and it was such fun watching them have a great time. Drew is very good and handles the ball well and makes lots of baskets for his team. This is Kayley's first year so she is learning the game and she loves to dribble! :-)
Ryan is such a fun character. He is only 2 1/2 but knows how to entertain everyone and enjoys doing it. He has a very sweet demeanor and I will just have to admit it: he is adorable. :-)
Matt also joined us for the holiday festivities and it was great seeing him. It is a long drive from Omaha so we appreciate his effort in getting to Peoria for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thanks, Matt!
I will end with some videos and lots of pictures! Happy New Year!
