Home for the Holidays

Gosh I am so excited with Christmas Right around the corner. There is a great possibility for us to be going back to Ohio for Christmas. I can not hardly stand it. It has been so depressing thinking that we would not be able to do it. Mom and Dad were able get us all home we are just waiting on Gilbert's leave to go through before we give mom and dad the yea to book the flights. :) PLEASSSSEEEEEEEE LET US GO. :) His unit is deploying for a year this Friday so I am not sure if he will get it or no. Keeping our fingers crossed.

I have diana's snowsuit all laid out and have got a whole list planned on things we will need for our trip. This would be the best trip. The Christmas Holiday is the most important Holiday for me. It means family and speding time with the family . Gilbert has not yet got the whole meaning of Christmas yet. He did not celebrate Christmas growing up. HE is however slowly learning what family and the holidays means to us and is adapting very well. :)

Busy November

Wow November is already here. We have such a busy month planned. Im the planner in the family so I have everything down to the T for the Thanksgiving Holiday. We started Nov. with Dina's 1st birthday. What a big girl she is. Now we are planning on Deans surprise. My mom is flying in tomorrow. She booked her flight a few months ago and it it seems like its taken forever to get here. I am so excited I can Hardley wait. I have kept this secret from Dean the whole time. Its getting harder and harder as I am getting the house ready for her I just hope I do not slip. She will get in a little bit after noon time tomorrow and Dean will be in school. She will be here to get him off the bus. I can not wait. He is going to be so surprised. :)
So after that big event we will celebrate Diana's 1st birthday Friday night with a few friends and Grandma.
Daddy is working so hard on getting all the kids 4 wheeling equipment ready and set for Thanksgiving. We will be headed to Mississippi for that. I will have to go pick up Abby Tuesday night so we can leave from here first thing in the am on Wed after Gils first formation. :) Its an 11 hr trip from here. We just did not want to drive 2.5 hours out of our way and then 11 more hours from there. It would be too much for Diana :( So Off to Mississippi we will go.
Busy Nov will lead us straight into December :) I cant wait for Christmas.
