Christmas in Kentucky

Justin and I spent Christmas in Kentucky this year and it was great. We got up at 4am on Tuesday the 23rd to catch a real early flight. We slept in the entire flight and got to Louisville by 9:45am. The Floyd family was running a little late, but as soon as they arrived we headed to Panera, the mall, and then Cheesecake Factory for lunch. Isabella is cutier than ever. Justin and I then headed to Northern KY for dinner with Ted, but got a little stuck in traffic...we did not move one inch in three hours. Justin and I decided to try and embrace this time together, its Christmas. After three hours and no movement in sight we decided to take matters into our own handd. Justin drove into the emergency lane and turned around on the highway and we headed back to Louisville. Sara got what she wanted and we came back to wrap presents and watched The Family Stone. The highlight of the weekend for my husband. We woke up and tried again to drive to NKY and this time we made it no problem...just drove in the pouring rain the whole way. We spend Christmas Eve with Justin's mom and the Willetts. It was a great night of food, presents, and catching up with the family. We spent the night at Rose's house and woke up Christmas morning to pancakes, coffee, and more presents. It was perfect. We said our goodbyes which was hard...and made our way to Ted's. Saw his new condo, which is going to be gorgeous after all the painting is complete. The three of us then drove back to Louisville to spend Christmas day with Tommy, Sara, and little Isabella. It was such a relaxing day of just being with family, eating, and opening presents. We laughed all day. Sadly we leave at 7am tomorrow, but I am about to check our flight and we are hoping for a delay. We are not ready to leave quiet yet...Merry Christmas.
