The day after Christmas, we packed up and headed to Arkansas. It was the first time in 4 years that we haven't been bowl eligible and we were able to go home for Christmas. We drove to my mom's house, and spent the night, and on Monday, we got up and drove to Jonesboro to see DJ's mom, sister, and her kids.
We went bowling and the kids had a blast.
The next day, we went to brunch, and headed to the campus store to pick up an ASU flag for our camper.
We spent the afternoon at the theater watching Sing 2.
The next day, we gave big hugs to Nana and we drove to visit DJ's dad and stepmom.
Silly girls.
Pops and Grandma Dee spoiled us all. They had sent us presents to our house for Christmas, and then when we got there we had stockings and a few more presents.
We exchanged gifts, played way too much pinball, and enjoyed being together. I literally spent the week just enjoying the time and have hardly any pictures to show for it, but gosh, it was wonderful.
On New Years Eve day, DJ's sister brought over her kids (they were ringing in the New Year with the grandparents) and we were excited to see them again before we left. One big family picture, and then we drove back to my mom's house.
We made a huge charcuterie board for New Years Eve dinner, played lots of games, and stayed up until midnight. I think we were all surprised we made it that late!
Sister-cousins ready to ring in the New Year.
All the girls..
ready to toast...
On Sunday, we went to my sisters to visit my her and my niece's little girl, who is almost 1. The girls ate her up, and she wasn't too sure what to think! Ha!
It was wonderful to get away. We loved seeing everyone and celebrating the season with family.
