More Christmas Week...

I hope you are in the mood for a TON of pictures...

Sometime during the week we went to arch because Allen and Aimee had never been up it. It was a rainy, yucky day so it was perfect for being inside.

Aimee became friends with Mark Twain...

as did the rest of us...

Aimee and Allen couldn't believe how small the little capsule that brought us up the arch was.

Our "elevator" door.

Allen was a little scared..hehe

Noah loved it..

Because it was so windy the arch was swaying back and forth and when i reached the top, i kept losing my balance and falling over.

Noah was the perfect size for the capsule...

the top was great except we needed some dramamine...

All of us at the top (Barrett waited at the bottom because he doesn't like heights...)

After the arch, we met up with the "adults" for lunch on the Hill (the italian part of Missouri)

we wore Noah out!!

Later that day we all went to the movies. Everyone else went to see marley and me but since Noah couldn't see that, he and I had a date at "A Tale of Desperaux"...

And then we met up with my Aunt and Uncle at The Pasta House...

Anf the next day we went to my Aunt and Uncle's farm and hung out with the cows...

These are the same cows that chased us last spring almost to our death and yes we went back...

Noah LOVED feeding the calf a bottle...

Noah was very brave...even more than me!

One of the highlights of the trip was the ride on the 4 wheeler and the tractors...

and noah was in heaven driving the tractor!!

Barrett was the first to brave getting in with the entire heard!

I finally braved it too but kept my distance...

After the cows (and Allen getting headbutted by a cow cauing him to bruise and limp) we decided to hang out and watch a movie...

Allen, Noah, and I stayed an extra night after mom, Barrett, and Aimee left. On our last night we went to a great grill for dinner...

Sandy went a little picture crazy...

my favorite aunt and uncle...

we finally made it home New Years Eve...

Happy New Year!!!
