I'm not behind-it's still Christmas at my house!

So, I haven't done any posting on Christmas or any other exciting happenings during the holidays! I would say my New Year's resolution is to stay updated with my blogging, but I'd be lying. Sometimes I think it's a pain in the butt. I just don't always feel like finding the pictures and coming up with something fun, exciting, or funny to say.

However, my husband is out playing basketball and I'm at home. There are millions of other things I could be doing like: cleaning the house, laundry, cleaning the bathrooms, filing papers, balancing checkbook, grocery shopping, organizing, eating, or many other more productive things. But instead, I am stuck here in front of the computer screen looking for flights, reading blogs, checking e-mails, etc. So, once again I know I shouldn't but here I am.....yes, I love technology, but not as much as you, you see. But I still love technology, always and forever.

My Christmas was wonderful as is any time I spend with family. I was actually really sad to leave them this time. Just ask Emma, she'll tell you, "My Inzy cried because she didn't want to leave me." I did, and actually I want to cry now just thinking it will be a few months before I see my family again. I am so blessed to have the family I do. I know I'm a little biased but I think I pretty much have the coolest, most wonderful family ever. My sisters are so amazing and they mean so much to me. My mom and dad are nothing less than my heroes and greatest examples. My brothers are wonderful too- I don't really get to see Ryan and his family very much. But even my grinch of a brother, Nate, is one of my best friends. (He actually puts the grinch to shame because he wants to participate in the holidays less every year). You can't help but love your family when driving over the river and through the woods to Grandmothers house-smooshed in the middle seat by a sleeping brother on one side and a sleeping sister on the other and your butt has been asleep for about the last 4 hours.

I also had the opportunity to visit with cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents and I just love them all so much. As I sit here thinking about my totally amazing family the tears have come. They are tears of joy for having such a blessing in my life. Family make the bestest friends. (and, yes, I know that bestest isn't a word). Of course I'm sad at times because I hate being so far away from everyone- I miss out on a lot, but at least I know they are always there for me.

Okay so what I thought would be a short post turned into a really really long one. Hopefully it wasn't disappointing to those of you who actually read it. Now for some pictures. I've spent the last 2 hours trying to upload a slide show that won't work- so this is all you get for now.
