The Holidays!

Wow, Christmas and New Years came and went so fast. We were the travelers for the Holidays and we are lucky because we don't have to travel out of the state of Indiana!

We started in Chicago the weekend of December 15 - 16 to visit our friends Vicki and Dan. Vicki hurt her foot falling off a step stool in her closet and Dan and Chris went to the Rob Zombie and Ozzie Osborne concert. Tons of fun! My Mom was snowed in just outside of Chicago so we picked her up and drove her home too! Chris slept in the back seat and Mom and I talked the entire trip home!

On the 22nd we headed down to Batesville and left Randi at home with our new best friend Betsy! Poor Betsy, 3 weekends of fun with Randi!! Sunday we hung out all day in Batesville and traveled to Franklin to see my Dad's side of the family. Tons of little ones running around and having fun! The 24th we were at my Parent's house with family and stayed awake for midnight mass of course! Christmas Day I was up early (as always) and we did our own Powell Christmas and then off to Mom and Dads where Santa still comes. Yes Santa still comes! Mom's sister and her family joined us that afternoon.

And back to work on the 26th! We were back in Batesville on the 29th and 30th where we had the Powell vs. Perkins cook off. It was a little unfair b/c we made the main course, but everyone loved it! That is a first for me! Then we took photos of Vicki and the family as she missed her graduation from IUPUI b/c of the weather.
