The rest of Vacation

So onto Virginia Beach from New York. We had a pretty good time at Joel's family. Lydia had a really awful cold. So at night I didn't get much sleep but other than that it was great to spend sometime with Joels family. There was one day it was 71 degrees so we took a walk down the beach it was amazing. Then we opened gifts together with his family and we got a special guest this year. Joels Grandma moved down to Virginia Beach and she got to spend this Christmas with us. We also had to do a Cryptogam to figure out whose gifts were whos. Joel's mom is very creative and that was fun. I also had the fun time of helping Kim (Joel's sister) make out her invitations to her wedding and that was fun. So we moved on from Virginia beach to North Carolina where we picked up Sadie and spend the night at Melinda's and then we arrived home at 4:30 Saturday afternoon. It was so nice to be home. We had a great time. But it will be awhile before we do that long trip again. Then today we did a kitchen overhaul. We got rid of a bunch of stuff and that was nice. Now we get to rest and sleep in our own beds. So Happy New Year we are wishing you a great New year from all of us.
