We had a great trip to Arkansas to visit my family. The drive went well although not without a few problems. On the way down to AR, we encountered some serious snow storms in Iowa with heavy blowing snow that made visibility very difficult. Then, in northwest Arkansas, we were stopped for a wreck due to freezing rain and sat on the interstate for two hours without moving! Needless to say, the boys were going a little crazy after being in the car for so long. On the way home, John and I got some type of stomach bug, but we are doing much better now. We had a wonderful visit and enjoyed seeing everyone in my family as well as celebrating an early first birthday with our cousin Calvin. We had a polka dot themed party with matching onesies that Aunt Sarah painted for us and lot of round foods to fit our polka dot theme. We received lots of new toys that the boys are having a lot of fun with. Thank you to everyone who came to the birthday party and for the generous gifts you gave the boys. Happy New Year!
