On December 26th, we made the trip to Indiana and it snowed for most of our trip! The roads were still iffy in Knoxville and fairly slushy in some parts in the mountains but the good ol' Kia pulled us through! Was there ever any doubt?!?
We made our first stop at Nana and Papa's house where we were greeted with a house full of people. Great Nana, Don, the Miller's, the Davis', Bischof's, and Mohr's were all there! We got to visit with the Henderson clan for a few hours before they had to take off to northern Indiana. The next morning we opened presents and Grace stopped cold after her very FIRST one! She opened some weebles and that was it......she was satisfied!! We had a great couple of days at Nana and Papa's visiting with everyone. It's not very often that all of us can get together at the same time and it was nice to have everyone under the same roof!
We spent the next two days at Grandma's house. Grace was super excited when she opened her new scooter and helmet! You all know I've talked about her......ummmm not so small melon. Once she put that helmet on, we nearly wet our pants! Hysterical! Ok so her head isn't THAT big, BUT once you put a helmet on a kid who just so happens to have a melon that's on the bigger side, it IS pretty darn funny! Grace, when you read this please know that comment is only coming from someone who also embraces her no so small melon! :)
While we were at Grandma's, something very exciting happened..........Anna rolled over for the first time! YAY! She rolled from her tummy to her back which was interesting since it's usually the other way around first. Looks to me like she's going to do things her own way! :) She's been SO close forever now and finally did it! She doesn't seem real interested in doing it again, but at least I have witnesses!

We got spoiled beyond belief as you can see from the last picture. We could barely fit the girls in the car AND we had to leave some gifts in Indiana! Message to family: our girls no longer need any gifts for AT LEAST 5 years! Our house is exploding and Matt is finishing out a storage space to accommodate these toys as we speak! While we greatly appreciate the gifts they received, in the future we will not only accept donations to their college funds! :) Thank you again for spoiling us rotten!
We'll see you all again for Grace's big 3rd birthday party!
