I've been trying to post a slideshow of our Christmas with the Lilly family for 2 days now, but the interwebiverse is being stupid. I guess too many people are trying to upload stuff at the same time. I do have them posted on Facebook. Here's the
Facebook album link, if you're interested. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the day:
Chantay is so beautiful...
Emma helping Darcy feed Jude...
Shayla's useful
and fashionable white elephant gift...
Sandy created this masterpiece for the white elephant exchange. A photo of Dwight with Jameon's baby teeth. Nice.
The girls, watching a movie on Grandma Lilly's bed.
On Monday, Matt & I, Ann & Andrew, and our cousin Kelsey strapped on our cameras and set out for Lindsborg, the town I lived in before we moved to Kentucky. We walked around town and took pictures of everything while I reminisced about the good ol' days. Here's the link to the entire Facebook album.
The best part of the excursion for me was when I got up the courage to knock on the door of my old house and ask the owners if I could walk through it. I took Ann on a tour down memory lane in that house. She didn't remember much, but it was a neat experience for me. The owners were very nice and I am glad to know that they will be restoring the house since it's been sitting unmaintained for almost 20 years now. I even got to walk through the woods in the back yard and I found the old trees that Nic & I (& a whole bunch of friends) played in when we were kids. I have so many good memories of that place...it was good to go back. When Matt & I were looking for a house a couple years back, I found myself looking for houses that reminded me of the one in Lindsborg. Never did find one. I thought it would be weird to take pictures of someone else's house, so I left the camera in the car. This will have to do...
I took some time to photograph my favorite place in the world while we were on our trip. 
Lilly loves her new "Fancy Nancy" tutu & hat (she also received other Fancy Nancy books and accessories at may of her other Christmases). She danced around feeling quite gorgeous for a long time!
