It's High Time!

Yes....it is high time that I update my blog.  My last update was for Dozier's birthday and lots have been going on since that!

Christmas was in Texas as usual this year.  It is wonderful to be in the warmth of Texas to celebrate the birth of our Savior with my precious boys and their families.  Jaxon was very sick with a viral infection that was really close to the flu.  We ended up staying at HeltonTexas most of the time to help with him.  He HAS to sleep with Grandmama and GaGa!  

Michael and Sarah spent a couple of nights with us there....we loved that - especially since they only live a few miles down the road.  It is so special to wake up Christmas morning with my "nest" all together!



We were greeted at the airport by the HeltonTexas crew!
Even tho we had a rental car - they couldn't wait to see us!!





Jaxon was so sick..



December 28 is Jaxon's birthday - so we had a big "Hershey's Chocolate" birthday party!  We shipped all the chocolate we could from Hershey to make the party perfect! 



Back to PA on January 2nd....EARLY morning flight from DFW.  Mr. H almost missed the plane (I was already on)..due to long lines at check in, baggage drop and security!  Seriously it was unbelievable!  We had a 5:40 AM flight and arrived at the airport at 4:30...you'd think that would be plenty of time....NOPE!    He did get on the flight....last one one.

Since returning we have been COLD....it snows almost every day....snows a lot and stays put!  We are covered in snow!  I am so ready for a trip to the warmth of the south.  Michael and Sarah will be here on the 17th and we can hardly wait!  We're gonna have a great time!

Here are a few pictures ....
