It's Good to be HOME!!!!

We flew home Tuesday Jan. 6th. This is what we found in one suitcase upon arrival home. HOT CHOCOLATE powder on everything. It was a mess!!! Jer had taped the lid shut,(I of course had said to put it in a bag)and this was the result after a 2 1/2 hr. flight. I was mostly upset as this was the suitcase with most all of the freshly cleaned clothes that I planned on taking out and putting right into the drawers. So much for that idea!!!! Atleast Hot Chocolate powder smells yummy!!!





The girls were excited to open Christmas Gifts that my parents and sisters had sent.
each recieved a James Avery Gingerbread House charm(we had so much fun making the house over Thankgiving with my family this is a darling way to remember it! So cute Mom!! LOVE IT!!Thanks!!!) What wonderful gifts,especially the WICKED tickets!! Can't wait! Thanks Mom, Dad, my Sister's and Harley!! We loved everything!!

The girls started back to school Jan. 7th. It's been crazy ever since! That awful flu bug threw us for a loop, and getting our floors redone was crazy. (Floors had to be redone from when our fridge(water line & fliter) leaked water ruining an area of the wood.

Old Stain

Sanded and ready for new stain

New Stain-Hard to tell from pictures but it's a satin finish instead of the Semi-Gloss we had, & the stain color is slightly different. I love it!!!


It's good to be HOME!!!

The floors look awesome Jill! I saw Jer taping the hot chocolate shut the day before you left and I was wondering if he was going to be putting that in your suitcase... that is too bad that it opened up, but kinda funny too!

That is funny about the chocolate mix ~ who would have thought not to put it in bag? Sorry Jeremy! I'm mad at myself that I didn't get to see you the whole time you were here!! It looks like you had a great time while you were there though! I did get your message about a week later though. I need to give you my cell number! Hope all is well!

Seriously Jer is so super smart, but some of the things he does amaze me. Ang, should we all just think back to Jer & your wedding cake!!!!!!
Jeff & Ash- makes me laugh you saw Jer taping the cocca mix. Fun to see the end result isn't it!!!
Oh Jeff- Joy wants your band to play some songs at her reception. I'll have her call you!

Mindy- I hate that I didn't get to see you either. Joy is getting married in SLC this April. She'll be sending all of you invites, so I can't wait to see you then.

Jill--Love this post!! So funny. I'm so glad mom puchased the gingerbread house charms for the girls. This will remind them forever about the wonderful time they had together with their "GAMMY". BTW--love the playlist.

Oh, Jer and his love of hot chocolate. I remember him saying he was going to stock up on it while you guys were there. Isn't it so like Jer to "stock up"? You floors look beautiful. I bet you are so glad to be home. Our home is actually starting to feel like "home". Maybe it is because we are finally hanging things on our walls.

Ashley said...

Oh, and girls I just LOVE your new charms.

You should have just left the hot chocolate mix with me. Cam would have eaten it for you. ;)

Again, sorry I missed you while you were here last time. =(
