Christmas Vacation

On December 27th we hit the rode. We loaded up the truck and took off to visit our good friends the Hines who live in Tennessee. When we all get together it is always a good time. The kids love playing together and so do the adults. This time the little girls enjoyed sharing Hillary's kitchen set and her Barbi car, while everyone had fun playing with the Wii. However, the highlight of the whole trip was Vicki and I going 3-0 in Spades against the guys!!!! This may not seem like that big of a deal to you, but to Vicki and I who started out 6 years ago always going blind nill (I don't know how to spell it) and still losing, this was HUGE and SO much fun!! We also had a date night without all the kids and went to downtown Nashville to Wildhorse Saloon. So, so much fun. All I got to say is the "clubhouse" was rockin.

While we were in TN we also got to spend the evening visiting with some other friends the Cassillys. They moved from O'Fallon, MO, 3 years ago. All three of our families use to live in O'Fallon and attend the same church, now three years later none of us live in the same place, crazy. We have seen Barb and the girls a couple times over the years, but we hadn't seen Dave since the move. They are such an awesome family, it was great to catch up.

Oh my word! The Cassilly's go to our church and Kortney babysits my kids!! They live like five minutes from our house. How funny it was to click on your blog and see pictures of them. I cannot wait to talk to them about it. We love them and feel so blessed to have them here. Glad to know about this connection.
