Christmas Vacation

This year we are staying home for the holidays. Thank goodness. With THREE trips to Russia, ONE to Chicago, TWO to Alabama and ONE to Missouri under our 2007 belt, we are ready to relax a little this holiday season.

Nonna (Ellie's mom) is flying in on the 23rd. She hasn't seen Korbin since we were in Moscow! Gosh, that feels like so long ago!

We have also been busy buying a few warmer items for our trip to Chicago at the end of January. Korbin is expecting to meet another cousin, Aiden. Ellie's sister, Amy, is due on January 27th. Korbin and Ellie are flying up on the 25th to help out and be there for the excitement.

Also, Korbin will get his first night away from home on January 5th. The three of us are headed down to San Antonio for one night to visit some college friends. We are more concerned with the 5 hour drive than the overnight stay...

So, with all these exciting things coming our way we need to rest up and enjoy a relaxing holiday (although everyone that knows Nonna knows that she does not relax and sit still!).
