Sam's Fam: January 2017

The past 3 1/2 weeks have been filled with lots of fun! Back in December, before Christmas, the kids and I went down to Opelika for several days. My sister from Connecticut and her family were in town. We all just hung out and the kids all had so much fun! One night we celebrated Christmas together with dinner and presents. It was a wonderful couple of days. From there we headed down to Bainbridge to meet up with Josh. Because of Josh's work schedule we were only able to be down there for one night, but it was still fun. We got to see his grandad and aunt and uncle and several cousins. And the kids had so much fun playing with Josh's cousins kids. It was a quick, but fun trip. We were back in Athens before Christmas and celebrated Christmas at home. It was just the five of us, but it was nice. The kids got a few small things from Santa, but the main thing was a new playset. And they loved it!! It has already been played on so much. I love it! The afternoon of Christmas day we loaded up to head to the airport to fly to Memphis for Georgia's bowl game. We spent December 25th - December 30th in Memphis for that. We stayed at the Peabody hotel, and it was nice. Throughout the week there were lots of different activities planned for the kids and the adults. We got to go to the Incredible Pizza Company, The Memphis Zoo, SkyZone Trampoline Park, have a Kid's Movie Night, and the adults had a nice dinner one night and I attended the President's Gala another night. All in all it was a very fun trip. Jama also joined us in Memphis on Tuesday and stayed through the game. So it was great to spend some time with her, and to have another set of hands helping me since Josh was working. The game was on the 30th, and it was great because we won, but the game itself was not super fun. Thomas is not at a good age for football games. But oh well, we made it!! ;) Since we got back from Memphis we have just started getting back into the routine of normal life and also celebrated my birthday on the 2nd. And I think that's about it! I have a ton of pictures to share below.
