I can't find my shoes...: Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Whew! What a busy week it's been! The girls and I flew back to New Hampshire for good last saturday, Steve showed up with the animals on sunday, I cleaned the new rental house monday and tuesday and the moving truck showed up with our stuff on wednesday. As they unloaded I was unpacking! It took me nine hours to unpack my kitchen but I can say that is the one room in the house that is completely done. The rest still have boxes here and there but we can widdle those down in the next week or so. We were fortunate enough to be able to spend Christmas Eve with my family in Massachusetts, we were missing a few cousins but it was still wonderful to be surrounded by family. The girls had a great time and made out like bandits! It was a long, late drive home so the girls hurried to get into bed so Santa could come. Steve and I were up a few more hours as we still had things to wrap! We woke up to softly falling snow and wonderful gifts and time together.

The girls have one more week off and then they start in the new school on Jan. 3rd. We were able to tour the school twice and meet the students in their classes as well as the teachers. The girls are excited, I think?

Steve is really enjoying his new job at EMS and looks forward to the day when he is no longer the "new guy". It won't take him long, he's pretty smart and can get himself up to speed pretty quickly, he jumps in head first.

Well, we look forward to visiting with everyone over the coming months and would welcome visits our way as well!

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and may your New Year be fantastic! Here are a few pictures and videos to share with you all:
