Holiday Time 2014

We've been to alot of states in a short amount of time between late November and early December. We drove to Indiana for Thanksgiving, and had some great quality time with Matt's side of the family. Let's see, we hit Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio along the way. Then, on December 1st, my grandmother Dorothy Youngblood passed away from this life and moved on to party in heaven. I know she was smiling down at us as we honored and remembered her vibrant life in Lawton on December 4th. It was bittersweet to be able to catch up with family on my side whom I have not seen in years. And Oliver got to be the big cousin for once! He had fun entertaining Evie and Jillian. On December 6th, Oliver had his yearly visit with Santa at the Stepping Stones' pancake breakfast fundraiser at Applebee's. Oliver wants a drum set (nooooo!) and a motorcycle with marshmallows on it (I don't know. Don't even ask.) We will drive back down to Lawton next week to spend Christmas with Nana and Pa-Pa, and Aunt Jennifer and BF Sasha will be there as well!
Wishing everyone peace and joy this holiday season. XOXO

Overdue for a family pic!
