Christmas, Jonathan's 5th Birthday, Trip to CA - I'm tired!

We had a great and blessed Christmas. We drove first to Lubbock and had a Christmas with one side of my family. We drove the next day to Ruiodoso, NM and had Christmas with Jesse's entire family. We stayed there for 5 days. We then drove back to Lubbock and had two more Christmas' with my family. After staying there for 5 days we drove back home. We were home for one week and had Jonathan's 5th birthday party with some of his friends from church. By this time I was very tired. We had a great Christmas and loved being with all of our family. Jonathan's birthday party went really well and I cannot believe that he is five years old! We have had a few weeks to try to recover and I was looking forward to not traveling for the next few months - until - we were invited to Jesse's consulting firms holiday party in Monterey, CA this coming weekend. I first said no - just the thought of going made me tired. Not to mention I did not want to and did not really feel like it was even an option to leave Jordan since I am still nursing. It just seemed to complicated. The firm contacted Jesse twice asking him to please come. They have never met Jesse face to face and would like to meet with him and get some face time. They were offering to pay travel and all expenses while we are there. So, long story short, we are going (my very giving parents are going with us to help with our kids). We are going to stay 4 days and look around some. It should be a good time. My sweet Jordan did get sick today - we are going to the doctor in the morning. Hopefully we will all well by Friday. That about sums up our last month. I will try to post pictures soon. Some of my blogging friends have listed some of their favorite things and I thought I would do the same.
