With my family being spread out from Florida to Illinois it is a rare occasion that we are all together. It was a treat that all of us were able to have Christmas (after Christmas) at my parents house in Illinois. We were really hoping for a little snow, but it didn't happen. Although our time was short, it was wonderful to all be together.
In true Hill fashion we made a shopping trip that Saturday morning and enjoyed hitting up Goodwill, they have a huge selection of boys clothes and I always hit the jackpot there.
That evening my Dad's church was having a Watch Night Service to ring in the new year and because we all had Buffalo plaid we decided to twinkie it up. We all sang and the girls even played the piano. Unfortunately, my sister and her family had to leave early due to sickness and did not get to participate in the service or our Christmas party that night.
In our PJ's ready for presents....
Sunday morning enjoying family time at church
my beautiful girls!
Since my brother's family was so close to our house they decided to spend a few days with us in Kansas City. With it being such a long trip from Florida, they probably will not be able to visit much. I was thrilled with the plan because it meant more time with my family....and then the kids got the biggest surprise, SNOW
This was a blessing to me, they entertained Arlee for hours while I stayed nice and warm...Yay. And then we all had hot chocolate chip cookies and hot chocolate. It was a perfect evening.
