Christmas at the Hodo's

Wednesday morning we packed up and went south to Woods Cross. There we spent Christmas with my in-laws. First things first Aidan got a birthday present from Grandma and Grandpa Hodo.

It was an Ocean Dive animals

Between all the Hodo's the tree was quite the sight. Vance says it looked like a toy donation.

Warning: The following picture maybe disturb some, but it is cute!!! :)



































Aidan found one of the girls tutu and had to put it on.


This pose is especially funny.

Should I be worried?? :)


Time with my in-laws was so wonderful. Besides the actual Christmas day stuff we did a lot of other stuff. Shopping, talking, movies, lunch and just hanging out together. My mother-in-law is pretty sick and didn't have the energy to do the things she normally does, so we ladies jumped in and took over. Well mostly Teri and Valerie did I just did as I was asked.
It was so great to spend time with them. Christmas was wonderful and so was everything else that we did. I love my entire family and everyone in it. Thanks to Vance's family and their so willingness to accept me into their lives.

6:45 am on Saturday came WAY TOO fast. My parents came and packed all our stuff up and headed on the road. It was the BEST Christmas Vacation EVER!!!
