Well, we made it from St. Louis to Omaha and back again with a dog and a sick baby and it was definitely worth it. We were able to celebrate the holiday with our family and friends and we enjoyed every minute of it.
We spent several days with my (Sara) family. Isaac was able to meet the grandparents, aunt and uncle, cousins, second cousins, great aunts and uncles… all of which Adam still can’t keep straight. (I have to admit my family tree is a little confusing) We were all able to enjoy each others company and even play a little poker. The West family celebrated Christmas on Sunday and Isaac definitely made out with the most gifts.
Adam also got a great gift too. This year I was actually trying to get Adam a gift and it be a surprise but as always Adam caught me red handed. (I need to learn to be a little sneakier) Adam has been complaining about his cell phone for quite some time now and he wanted to buy a new palm pilot phone but they are pretty pricey so of course he would never actually go and purchase it. So, I thought as a surprise, I would go get him this phone that he liked. Well, long story short while my dad and I were in the Sprint store working up an elaborate plan with the salesman in walks Adam. BUSTED!!! So once again, I was not able to surprise Adam but on the bright side I didn’t have to wrap his gifts. (He was with me when I purchased his other gift).
Everyone on both sides of the family received Web cams. This will allow the grandparents to see baby Isaac and the other grandchildren as often as they please. We were able to test out the web cams on Christmas morning and talk with my brother Brian and his wife Erin. They even gave us a tour of their new home in Houston. We were sad that we didn’t get to spend Christmas with them but it was great to see them via the web.
