Christmas with the In-laws...

Hi Family,

We're just finishing up a 2 week stay here in Tulsa, OK with the in-laws.  We've had a great trip and are sad to be leaving, but are also ready to get back home and into a routine.  The trip started off a bit rocky with Halle showing signs of pink-eye on the way to the airport.  Our flight was of course delayed but luckily Ian's brother Mason was there to help with the girls.  (Ian had to work and wasn't coming for a few more days.)  The girls were actually really well behaved, and LOVED the plane ride.  They were pretty hilarious to watch.  As we were taking off I heard Halle tell Mia to 'Hang on tight!' at which point they both grabbed their arm rests and pushed their bodies back into their seats as hard as possible.  The people around us thought it was pretty amusing.  At one point in the flight I looked over and both girls had their tray tables down and were using them as ottomans for their feet as they read their 'skymall magazines.'  Oh yeah, side note:  I chatted the brothers' old roommate with the 'EMO' style (can't remember his name) while waiting for our flight.  Small world.  Anyhow Halle's health issues were just a first in a long line of ailments the girls have suffered while here.  Halle got a double ear infection, then Vivian got a double ear infection, then Mia got pink-eye.  We've been on a lot of antibiotics and will hopefully be all cleared up for the plane ride home.  
We celebrated the holidays in the typical way by eating way too much, watching lots of movies and playing lots of games.  We also had a pretty good time having "wiggle car races" which I can hopefully include a video of.  I'll also try to include some pictures if I can figure out how to post them.  Hope everyone is doing well.  Miss you all!
Love, Nikki and Family

  1. Love the girls' new clothes. Looks like they're going to Russia. Hope you can figure out the wiggle car video. I'm dying to see that.
