Happy New Year

Oh, and by the way Happy New Year to everyone!  I can't believe it's already 2013!  Where has the time gone?!!  I am looking forward to a fun year.  We are busy planning our Disney trip for June and I cannot wait to surprise the kids with it!  They are going to be so excited!  Other than that, not too many big plans for us for the new year.  We just plan on having a typical year with everyone in good health and that's perfectly fine with me!!

Christmas

We spent a week in Peru for Christmas this year.  It was a very busy week, but we had a great time spending time with family.  Saturday before Christmas we spent the day with my father in law and step mother in law.  The kids were spoiled and had a great time playing with their new toys, Janet's cat, and uncle Josh!  Sunday, Shana and Jim flew into Indy to spend 5 days in Indiana for Christmas.  It was great seeing them since they hadn't been here for Christmas in years!  Always a fun time when they are here!  Christmas day is our Schrader family Christmas which is always a blast.  Unfortunately there were several sick family members who couldn't make it and we missed having them there!  But, it's always fun catching up with the goings on of all of my cousins and their families.  I love being able to see them all.  It's the best part of the holidays.  Wednesday we got a snow storm....the blizzard of 2012 as they called it.  Peru got maybe 3-4 inches of snow but Indy got around 8 inches.  We weren't sure whether or not Shana and Jim would be able to fly out on Thursday, but their flight was on schedule!  On Saturday, we celebrated my niece, Sydney's, 7th birthday at a pottery place in Peru.  It was lots of fun.  We also got to go watch her and Mason's basketball games that day as well!  They are fun to watch!  Sunday brought the Boettjer family dinner.  There were about 50 people there....all extended family on Parker's dad's side.  It was nice to see so many people that we had not seen in years.  It was a busy, busy week but we had a ton of fun!  I will try and get some pics posted later!
