We came to Virginia for Christmas vacation this year. We came to enjoy the holiday with Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt S. It's a good vacation. Just before we got into the state, there was a giant snowstorm that blanketed most of the state with several feet of snow. The kids have quickly taken to the sport of snow-sledding. They are in absolute heaven. Geoff is enjoying his sister and parents' company, as am I. It's been a delightful and slow-paced few days. The kids highlights have been sledding, the Mennonite country-side, shoveling snow off the deck (obviously snow is not a common thing for us, or this would be a chore, not a highlight!), making sugar cookies from scratch with Grandma, and staying up late watching Christmas movies.
Here's how I am enjoying my VACATION:
9 loads of laundry
24 sandwiches for lunches
2 trips to the grocery store
3 trips to Target
1 bed washed after an "accident"
6 loads of clothes dried after snow play
We'll be here for another five days. It can only get better!
As I was moving yet another load from the washer to the dryer, Mom-in-law says to me: "Boy, you have been doing laundry since you got here. Does it ever stop? This isn't normal, is it?" I said, "No, this is extra special, because I'm ON VACATION!"
It's all good. And to all a good night...

I am laughing at this!! They don't call you Laundry Queen for nuthin'. I so wish we could have met up with you guys!!
I was taking a nap when Geoff called to tell Mike that I remind him of the hamster in the Bolt movie. I laughed my head off at that. It's kinda true...except I don't have one of those plastic balls to roll myself around in. Trade the plastic ball for a filthy mini-van...
Hi Nicole. Merry Christmas! I just HAD to comment because, guess where we are? In Midway, UT with CJ's parents and guess what I did today? 3 loads of laundry and taking care of Hannah who was throwing up all night.
I LOVE travelling for the holidays.
