There's no place like home for the Holidays!!

Daniel and I were able to go back home for Christmas this year!! It's shocking that it was an entire year since I had been there last time! And we were extremely lucky because we just barley made every window of opportunity that the air lines had! It was a beautiful winter wonderland with snow up to my thighs!! You can imagine what a shock it was to walk outside of the Kansas City airport and start sweating because it was still 56* outside! We both would have loved to stay alot longer and were even hoping that Spokane's airport would be closed so we wouldn't have to leave so early, but that's not how things worked out for us, which I guess is a good thing- since Daniel had to be at work this morning and I have a Dr's appointment this afternoon... Lame!!!

With only a month till the arrival of little Jada, I suddenly have a panic feeling cause we still don't have a crib or any bedding for her! and I don't have a diaper bag yet either (that's what my Christmas present from Daniel is- but I have a very specific one in mind) I am constantly fight with Jada because her favorite spot for her feet is right below my ribs on my right side, and it hurts! So we go back and forth each pushing against eh other for what we want! I think thats a sign of how her teen years will be... :(

Daniel starts school June 1st, so we're planning on making a road trip to Colville so every one in that area can meet baby Jada. and we're gonna be stopping in Denver, Rexburg and the Salt lake area so other family members can see her then too!! I am soo excited to go! even though we just got back from Washington last night- I am counting down the days till we can head that way again!

I am busy today with last minute preparations for Daniel's birthday tomorrow. I was kinda sad when he had told me that he never really had a birthday party, because his birthday is on New Year's Eve, So I wanted to throw him a party this year that was specifically for him, but our friends Dave and Jess moved to Utah and we have no one else to hang out with.... So I'll have to do my best and hope that next year will be alot better!
