home again

I've been home a week now and it's great to be home. Mom picked me up at the airport and I drove home for the first time in six months! My trip home was long, but I had no problems. During my layover in Frankfurt, I went into the city center and since it was late and everything was pretty much closed down, I went to the movie theater to watch a movie and kill time outside the airport. Lame movie, but a good change of scenery.
Dad spent the holidays with my grandma in upstate NY, so needless to say, Christmas wasn't the same...but I'm glad I got to see him just a few weeks before in France. Mom and I drove up the 24th to spend time with her family. I had a great time with them, as I usually do. The 25th we drove back to meet up with my brothers and their families. After a gift exchange, we spent the evening playing with Dave's new Wii. The most fun was watching Mom drive along. I'm adding a picture of me with my little nephew. Carson is adorable!
