Happy New Year!

Happy 2011 to everyone! We sure had a busy holiday season. We flew to Chicago on December 17th with my parents and grandpa. The next day we all drove down to Indianapolis with my Aunt Karen, Uncle Matthew and Aunt Christina. On Sunday, December 19th, Liam and Olivia were baptized at Roberts Park United Methodist Church, where Uncle Ethan and Aunt Aubrey are members. It was such a special day with over 40 friends and family members in attendance. After the ceremony we had a party in honor of the babies, and later that night we celebrated Christmas with all of Nathan's family.

The rest of the stay was just as fun. Some highlights:
Introducing Liam and Olivia to friends and family.
Enjoying a "date night" while Gran watched the babies.
Reading the Polar Express to our kids for the first time.
SANTA CAME!!!
Playing in the snow for the first time.

On December 28th we drove back to Chicago, expecting to fly home in two days. However, our flight was canceled and we ended up being stuck until January 4th! Thanks Southwest! It was actually a blessing in disguise because we were able to spend more time with our Chicago family.
The only "bad" part was that I was supposed to return to work on the 3rd, and because of the delay I didn't make it in until the 5th. Oh well, after 6 months what's an extra couple of days?!

The babies did awesome on the plane, and we are happy to finally be home. Nathan is off for the month of January, so he is enjoying his time with Liam and Olivia. We are having so much fun watching them grow and learn new things. More on that to come...
