Christmas in Tulsa!

Our final destination over the Christmas extravaganza was Tulsa!  We celebrated with all of the Franks and then we went over to Grandma Jones' house for another mini Christmas.  We sure did make the rounds this year!  I'm not going to lie, it was kinda exhausting but we are so blessed to have such a huge extended family to spend time with.  I loved seeing all of my family and then spending time with all of Mike's family.  We were going to try to join Mike's cousin and brother's family at the lake on New Year's Ever.  We ended up going to dinner with Pam and Bill and then calling it an early night.  I didn't even come close to making it to midnight! Ha! I didn't mind though.  It was so nice to catch up on some rest.  We stayed in Tulsa about 5 days and then drove home to Denver.  We made it through one hectic holiday season!

Prindiville and Bushmeyer Christmas

We celebrated with my Dad's whole extended side of the family on Christmas afternoon.  We then drove to Rockford that weekend to celebrate with my Mom's whole side of the family.  We fit in a lot of family time!!!  Emmett loved playing with his cousins Jack, Lilly, and Alex.  The kids had so much fun and we all enjoyed visiting and relaxing.

Christmas Eve and morning

My whole immediate family went to church on Christmas Eve.  Unfortunately, the little boys weren't quite up for it.  Mike and Paul stayed home with the little ones so Kate and I could attend church with the rest of our family. We stayed in for dinner and then put out cookies for Santa!  The next morning we woke up and opened presents with the little boys.

Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas 2014

We had a whirlwind holiday season!  I think we celebrated Christmas 4 or 5 times this year:)  My brother Joe helped me fly back with Emmett to Illinois.  Mike was working right up until almost Christmas Day.  He drove to Illinois with Barley and met us for Christmas Eve.  It was so nice seeing everyone.  We celebrated with my whole extended family and then drove down to Tulsa from Illinois to celebrate with Mike's family.  We had so much fun!  We are so thankful for a wonderful year and all the family time.  So thankful to Lord Our Savior for giving us so much to celebrate!
