Chip does not like waiting in the airport for three and a half hours!
Umm - I don't either! It was worth it though because we made it to Iowa on Christmas morning thanks to a very awesome pilot who held our connection for us!
Best Mother-in-law EVER! Seriously, she spoils me!

We were able to see our wonderful friends in Cedar Falls - home of Chip's Alma mater, UNI.
I adore these ladies. They have totally made me feel so welcome and their husbands, they are pretty amazing too. And the one on the right - she is ENGAGED! WHOO HOO, Michelle!
Precious mini-me of our friend Chuck. The mini-me - his name is Kole and he will be a big brother soon!

Jackson really likes Esparza's margaritas.
Umm - I think Aaron is jealous that Jackson is getting all of the attention from Alicia.
One of my besties,Kathy, and her husband, Phillip, is pregnant with twins - a boy, Corey, and a girl, Peyton.

After our Iowa Christmas, Chip headed back to Pittsburgh and I headed to Texas to see my friend, Jennifer, who was in from California with her adorable son, Jackson. Oh yeah - and i got to spend some quality time with my family and friends. You will notice there are no pictures of my Mom, Dad, brother or sister-in-law. I think they avoid the camera like the plague - or they stick an adorable kid in front of the camera so I won't take their picture.

We played a game of whose belly is bigger - I think it is a tie between husband and wife.

Although I totally missed my husband. :(
