12.27.2013: Post-Christmas Bliss

Ahhhhh it is inevitable! The post-Christmas bliss is upon us. Mom and Dad are moments away from having an empty house, and we are moments away from driving our way back to AZ.  All of us actually! Just different parts of AZ.  It's always the worst part of the holidays...

 

This year though, Mom and Dad are stuck with some of us for a few more days....

 



Piggy putting together is Legos..he can't even wait!

 Another year of Christmas Bliss....

12.26.2013: Durbin Christmas Party

Durbin Christmas party 2014 in full swing!!  The Sparks, the Hesketts, the Durbins, the Clabaughs, and everyone in between were in attendance.  We had a great time with all the family here tonight.  It was great to see everyone and the kids, as always, had the best time ever!  The boys ran the roost out back...which was great having them all together!  The girls seemed to hang closer to the house...and the adults gravitated, as always,  towards the alcohol!  Haha!! 

 

 It was fun having everyone together again...it seems we only get to see each other around the holidays, now that everyone is married with families, but we are blessed to celebrate those times together at least!  Our family continues to grow and expand to friends both old and new. I love that our house is open to everyone....thanks to our parents and their loving hearts!!!
