January Road Trip to Nebraska

Since we didn't get the opportunity to go to Nebraska for Christmas because of Sam's surgery craziness, we decided to make the trip for Kevin's 4th Birthday & do a belated Christmas celebration!

I couldn't wait to get my hands (and lips) on my cute new little niece Alaina... she was born in November and I have been dying to meet her in person. Needless to say, she was even more beautiful in person... see?


And we were in desperate need to get some family time... after being away six months....

And then, of course, ANOTHER birthday party for Kevin!
In a storm trooper outfit (& mask)... what else would you expect from MY son?




The biggest bummer (other than having to say "goodbye" which is always the worst part) is that we ran into bad weather on the way back home. After spending 12+ hours in the car, more than an hour of it at a standstill, we stopped in Carthage, MO and got a hotel room for the night. We finally made it home the next day to find we had no electricity... which thankfully only lasted 3 days! Brian took some pictures of our house & his truck with the ice.
