Christmas party before leaving to Oklahoma!

Sorry to take so long posting some pics of our Christmas and New Years in Oklahoma. I will start off by saying that our little 2 and a half year old proved her good ol' mom and dad wrong by being the best kid EVER driving in the car. Two days at 10 hours each day and the girl was amazing!!! She's the best toddler ever! I will try to remember that when a tantrum settles in at some point ;)

We had a wonderful time celebrating with family and friends. An amazing reminder of how blessed we truly are! We have so much to continue to be thankful for and being back in Oklahoma was a true reminder of that :)

We were blessed to be able to spend some time with, of course Oma and Opa, Aunt Inge and Uncle Doug cousin Allix and cousin Kevin, Uncle Dougs parents, Nanny, Granny and Grandpa, Aunt Jesse and Uncle Kelly and Jonah and Caleb, Uncle Keith and Laura, Uncle Ryan and Jessica, Uncle Bill (sad to miss seeing Aunt Bev), spent time with The Engle family, and The Yost family. There were a few close friends and family we missed seeing, Rachel's good friend Kelly being one of them, but at the end of our last week, London came down with the flu having a temp of 102 for a few days. This sort of put a damper on plans we had hoped would happen, but these things can't be controlled and the poor little gal hung in there, even on new years, she was determined to play with her cousin's, even if she was just laying on the bed with them :)

We are glad to report, that London is doing much better now. It took a few days back home to still get over the cold and adjust back to the time zone. She also began cutting her top two year molars once we arrived in Oklahoma. We are still waiting for those two last teeth to pop fully out! But what a little trooper she is!

We hope all of you had a wonderful time with your friends and families this season. Happy New Year!!!!

Love you and Miss you!
