As you can see I never had time to post yesterday as I was WAY to BUSY getting ready for our departure. We were able to squeeze in a little family Christmas dinner of Don's infamous Chicken Parmesan (YUM-O), gift opening (we opened the gifts that I knew we wouldn't have any use for in TX), and then we all had to head to bed early (believe it or not I was in bed by 10:30PM...which if you know me that's early for me).
We had to get up very early this morning (I was up by 3am and the rest were up by 3:30) as we had to leave the house by 4am to be at the Columbia airport by 4:30. Originally we were supposed to fly out of COMO but some crummy weather was headed for town and since our airport doesn't have deicing capabilities we had to bus to St. Louis and fly out of there. Needless to say, by the time we arrived in San Antonio we were all pretty tired...we got here at 10:30 am and it felt like 4PM.
Don immediately had to get to work unloading luggage and bringing it to rooms, while Adriene & I got kids food from the food court as we were all starving. After that I had to head back to the airport to pick up my mom who got in at about 1:30...poor thing had delays in Memphis and was stuck sitting on the plane on the tarmac for 2hrs, but at least she made it here safely and we are excited that she was able to join us!!
After I got her we came back to the room for awhile and then she & I brought the kids to the food court for a snack (our hotel is connected to a mall...sweet) :). As we were finishing up the long day finally got the best of Ms. Bella as she crashed in my arms at the table (she just woke up FIVE hours later...she'll be up all night)...Bail and I were able to get too.
Now we are just hanging out and relaxing & resting in our room for the upcoming week!
Goodnight for now and I'll be back tomorrow!
M-I-Z....
