Happy New Year everyone!
We had a great holiday season this year. We were extremely busy with lots of holiday parties and get-togethers and we feel we are FINALLY now caught up on sleep and chores around the house. Christmas was so much fun for us this year. We went to Arkansas to be with Jen's Grandparents - most of you already know, the trip there about scared us to death (literally) but once we got there, the visit was awesome. The weather was nice and warm, the food was great, and we all probably gained an extra 20 pounds with all the Christmas cookies and goodies we ate. It was also our last Christmas alone with Brian. Kinda sad to think about, but we also know it will be so much more fun to have Becca in our family for all future holidays. It was a wonderful Christmas this year - we wouldn't have wanted it to be any other way!
New Years Eve we continued with our annual tradition of fondue and Wii at some friends' house. We all stayed (all 8 of us) up until about 3 am, so needless to say we were totally wiped out the next day! New Years Day we had about 3 different parties to attend and were out late again that night as well. Friday night we skipped a party because we were WAY too tired and ended up going to see Marley & Me instead. It was such a cute movie, a real tear-jerker with not a dry eye in the theater, but a cute movie. It only greatly increased our desire to get a puppy, so stay tuned for THAT news in the future. ;)
Now, life seems to be getting back to normal again. We had to take down our tree on Saturday and un-decorate the house. It's always sad to take the tree down and the house seems so bare. Sunday night we were back to our traditional "Sunday night dinner" at Mom and Dad K's house. It's now Monday again.... Greg is back at work and tax season is slowly approaching, so that means more overtime and "fun" at work for him. Jen is back to playing housewife and this week is running around doing wedding stuff with Becca - this is so much fun!
We hope everyone had a wonderful start to their new year and that it brings many blessings to you and your families.

I love a fresh, new year "with no mistakes in it" as Anne of Green Gables would say. I hope to get together when I get home later this week. Happy New Year!
