Brian and I were expecting the worst weather conditions and terrible tantrums on our way to and from T-Town this holiday season, but we were pleasantly surprised–no snow and the kids slept pretty much the whole way.  (Thank goodness!)  Our Christmas with the Hastings family was wonderful!  Olivia took to everyone pretty much right away, especially her Uncle Aric.  Brian and I were excited to spend time and play Wii with the Bozdechs the following Monday.  Olivia was also much more comfortable at my parents’ house this time, which meant more sleep for all of us and less temper tantrums/mommy holding than last time.  Grandma G probably sang “Frosty the Snowman” a billion times while Olivia danced and then demanded “more.” We had to hide Frosty and Santa Claus (who played another tune) a couple of times.  And Grandpa G had a great time with his grandkids, snuggling up and rough-housing.  Aunt Amy and Uncle Aric even baby-sat one night so Brian and I could go out with friends.   Good times!  **Notice the pictures of Connor sleeping with Brian and Uncle Aric.  I think almost everyone we visited has fallen asleep with Connor this holiday season.
