Christmas Day

Our kids actually slept last night!! WOW!!! Blake felt great!!  We got pictures of everything together from Grandmas, Grandpas, Santa, parents!!

We took Theo to the Funk's at 10:30 (and pie, cookies, bread etc) We left for the airport at noon! Once we were in the truck, it was fun!!  Josh dropped Verne, the kids and me and went to park in long term! We checked in, rearranged bags (thank you to the lady at the counter for saving us $100 and overlooking 4 lbs!) Verne went to his gate and it was really sad saying goodbye!  I wish he could have been on our flight!  We bought some french fries, nachos and a drink for everyone! They switched planes on us, so our seating was rearranged! I was near the front with Lydia, Josh was with Blake near the boys! 

Ben and Beckee picked us up in Jen's Sequoia! It felt a little surreal!! So fun to see them!!!  It was snowing, Christmas Day, very fun!!
I got this picture off of Beckee's blog! Cute!

We drove to their house, got their car and kids and headed to Evelyn's house! Roads were not good!  

Very very fun to see everyone!!  We ate dinner and visited! 

Lydia decided to bathe!

We left Eve's about 10pm! Trent asked if we all had our seat belts on! Then on the I-15 near 7200 South a red car on our left was doing a 360 coming at us, I yelled "Everybody hold on," Josh swerved, they hit us hard on the front left side, pushing us into the car on our right (thankfully b/c it kept us from spinning). We pulled over, made sure everyone was ok!! I started to shake, Josh jumped out to see if everyone else was ok! The red car was sitting in the middle of traffic turned sideways!  Another car hit the median trying to avoid the red car, 2 more slid! Josh came back, with a girl from Austin in town to see her folks! They checked out our car! Turns out the red car was hit, which made them spin, and the person fled the scene of the accident! The red car was sitting there in the middle because being hit knocked their keys out of the ignition and they couldn't find them! (And thought they were going to die they said!) The police had all of us pull off  7200 South! I think 2 people ended up leaving the scene of the accident! Ben came and picked us up and drove us to my folks! Sweet guy carried all of our bags down too!!  Heavy bags!!  This picture is just of the police b/c I didn't get any others! CRAZY night!
