Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas, and we hope all of our friends and family had a nice holiday too. We flew up the 23rd, and had Christmas eve at Lois and John's house. Nana was doing so well...she was up in her wheelchair and was so happy. Christmas day we went to see J and Lauren and our nephew Aiden (he's getting SO big!). Matt's parents were there, and it was so nice to see them! We had a wonderful dinner (who'd have ever thought that stuffing with lil' smokies would be so yummy!), and we spent many hours hanging out with family...it was so nice. Then on the 26th, my mom, my brother, my cousin Jaimie and I met my cousin Lauren at the tattoo parlor. We got pretty things there. :-) Then on the 27th (the day we left), Kayley had a touch of the flu and couldn't have the birthday party we were planning for her. She stayed with my parents while Matt and I went to see my Nana again (apparently after Christmas, she started getting worse, and she had been unresponsive). We left to go to the airport later that day, and found out our flight was delayed almost 2 hours! We FINALLY land in Baltimore, and wait to ge our luggage, where it had said Manchester, only to find out that they'd changed where they would send our luggage. We were waiting for our luggage at the claim that was listed as the claim for Providence. Grr...so we find our claim and get our luggage, and by that time it was almost 10pm. We went straight to the hotel and went to sleep, got up in the morning and went home. Now Matt has laryngitis. Poor thing. :-( We got a call at almost midnight last night from my brother telling me that my Nana had passed. Now, Kayley and I are going back to NH on Thursday (Poor Matt can't take any more time off), and we'll be back on Sunday. I'm so sad, but only for myself and my family. I'm so happy for Nana...she hasn't been well for a long time. It's been such a long couple of weeks...all in all though, our Christmas was fun, and it was so nice to see family we hadn't seen in a while. :-)
