We had a great Christmas. Katey and Keegan arrived Monday night and stayed through Christmas day. Loved being with them! We spent the night and the Tibbitts Christmas eve and woke up Christmas morning with the kids. When we were putting them to bed so Santa could come, Katey wanted to go to bed too. Later we found out that she really meant it... She got all emotional cause it was the first time EVER that she stayed up to play Santa. She always got to get up Christmas morning to the presents! We felt really bad that we didn't let her go to bed too!

The day after Christmas Joel and I drove to Henderson to pick up Chad, Em and little Parker. We brought them home and kept them for nearly 2 weeks. Loved it! Finally we got to know Parker and what a personality! Chad checked out some hospitals for residency programs and they have decisions to make regarding their future in Feb. when CHAD IS DONE with Pharmacy school at last. Though it was sad to say goodbye, not nearly so sad as usual, knowing they will be heading West in 2 months!!
