Where has the time gone?

Here I am trying to update my sad blog, and I have no idea where to even start. Lets see I guess I will start with Christmas. We had a great one this year. Estella and Amelia are at such a fun age. They both got a Nintendo DS for Christmas with a few games. We thought that it would be a good gift since we were taking a 3 week long road trip the day after Christmas. At first of course Amelia was not happy, because she didn't even know what it was, and she was real quick to inform us that she did not ask Santa for it. Once we opened it up and showed her how it worked she changed her mind. Gretchen got a new cozy coupe car and a little baby doll that came with a stroller. She really seemed to love everything, especially the chocolate in her stocking. We all enjoyed the day. Nana also got an adult trike she seemed to be very excited about, I am not sure who loves it more her or the grand kids.They love riding it or getting rides in the basket. That evening our wonderful friends Mark and Eliza came to visit. They live in St. George Utah now. It was so good to see them. Estella and Caleb(their oldest) have been betrothed to each other. It was fun to see them all play together. David and I began the insane task of packing for our across the country adventure probably around 8:30. I think we finally had everything packed and in the car about 1:30am. We decided to go to bed an leave out in the morning. I will have topost all about the trip soon, but no time today.Here are a few pictures from Christmas I hope you enjoy.
