We, actually, had Christmas early this year. Clayton's four day weekend was this weekend. So, my brother, Josh, flew to KC and picked up my mother and drove them both here Friday night - just in time to see Colin's first school concert. Yesterday, my dad and Clayton's dad drove in for the day, along with Clayton's best friend, John. We had a wonderful dinner, and lots of fun watching Colin and Audrey open their presents. What was the favorite? I guess uncle's know best this year. Josh bought Colin a container of "slime" and it was the big hit. I bought Audrey a baby doll (Baby Lucy)and stroller, and this was her favorite. She slept with her the first night and again tonight. My mom and brother left this morning, so we are left with an empty house until Clayton's mom comes tomorrow. I have my last ultrasound (maybe for forever!) Tuesday. So, I'll be sure to post that photo shortly after. Clayton will find out Christmas day. I'm making him wait a few days longer. I still choose to wait until the baby's birth. Well, enjoy these photos...

Devil's Icebox! That was the first cave I ever ventured into (with a class in 7th grade).
Wow! What a packed post! Looks like you guys had tons of fun :)
Bridgett, it was a great hike, but I wasn't brave enough to go where Clayton took Colin. Did you know that the rock bridge cracked or something and now the foot bridge through it doesn't even exist! Kind of sad. Elizabeth, lots of fun packed into just two days. Tired, but well worth everything!
