Not off to a good start this year with an already belated post! In all fairness, I have been really productive in the other aspects of my life since arriving home.
Happy New Year!!
- We started off this past week with the 'Major' family Christmas. It was so much fun to have everyone at my parents' house. It was the first time in 5 years (since Mike and I were married) that everyone was home. We've added 3 more children into the family since then! Here are some pics from our celebration:

- On Tuesday, the 27th, my parents celebrated 35 years of marriage. They are such an amazing example to us and I wish them so many more blessed years.
- Also on Tuesday, our baby girl was baptized! It was so great to have Kennedy baptized at the same church Mike and I were married in and Jackson was also baptized in - St. Elizabeth's. Obviously this church means a lot to us because that is where Mike and I met. Kennedy looked so beautiful in my old baptismal gown! We were also blessed to have many family members join us for the special occasion. Afterwards we went to Ruby Tequila's for fajitas and cake!

- Wednesday brought friends to our house that we don't get to see very often. It was so great to catch up on everything and they got to meet Kennedy!
- Thursday was Mike and I's 5th wedding anniversary! Hard to believe it's been 5 years. I'm so lucky to have Mike in my life and we've had so many blessings in our short 5 years of marriage. Looking forward to many more great years. Mom and Dad watched the kids and Mike and I had a whole date day. That hasn't happened since before Jackson was born. We had a couple's massage, lunch at Abuelo's (the best Mexican food ever), shopped around and topped off our date with a mini blizzard from the DQ!
- Friday we celebrated the Hefferly Family Christmas! Everyone was there, but Mike's Dad who was working. It was a short visit, but it was great to see everyone and meet our newest nephew Grant though he is already 6 months old.

- Saturday we woke up at the crack of dawn to drive to Amarillo and catch our flight home. Thankfully, both Jackson and Kennedy slept the majority of the flight.
Down
- While we were home we went to see my Grandpa at his assisted living facility. For those of you that don't know, my Grandpa has Parkinson's Disease and it has recently gotten worse. It is hard to see him that way because I still see him as the vibrant, full of life person I've always known him to be. I love him dearly and pray that he is not in much pain. He has lived a full life though and I know that the he is ready to go to his heavenly home whenever he gets the call.
