Stevens: Our family tale: Over the Holidays!

So the holidays have come and gone. Colt always get the last few weeks of the year off as well as the first week of the New Year. You would think that we would want to stay put and take a break from the traveling but you would be wrong. We took full advantage of his time off, and made getting to our next work station a road trip to see family and friends along the the way.

First we spent a week in Utah. We switched out wardrobes, putting away the warm clothes and pulling out the sweaters. We were getting ready to start out little road trip. We made our way to Colorado! We were all so excited to get to spend Christmas with some of our best friends Zo and Jer and there family. It was a fun time. Can you imagine 10 kids and 4 adults in a 3 bedroom house. I can tell you it was tight but it was a great time. It was a wonderful Christmas with 10 very excited kids! Our kids were so excited to spend time with their friends which they have know most of their lives. I really enjoyed having late night talks with Zo, I really missed those. While in Colorado we even got to spend sometime with our adopted Uncle Zach! We missed him, he has been apart of our family before we ever had kids.

After Colorado we headed to Texas on New Years day. We spent a few days in San Angelo with Colt's brother Jared and his family. The kid were excited to see cousins that they haven't seen in a while. I swear kids grow so fast and time flies by. I remember when Colt and I got married our niece was so little and now she is in high school. It was fun to watch the kids pair up and play with their cousins. We also went with Jared and his family to San Antonio. We stayed in a sweet hotel on the river walk and did the whole tourist thing.

Next we were on our way to Houston to spend some time with my baby sister and her boyfriend. We were excited to see Tia Steph and spend some time with her. Luck for us Stephanie seemed to have a lot of time off while we were there. We spent a lot of time exploring. We went shopping, dining out, and just hanging out with each other. I personally was very excited that Stephanie and Bruce joined us for church on Sunday!

Colt and I said when we finally decide to settle down again, that Houston would be on our list of possibilities.
