Christmas 1

We spent the first week after Andy's surgery and Christmas at his parents house in Virginia Beach. It was SUCH a great week, so relaxing and peaceful, especially after being cooped up in a hospital for a week! We didnt take a lot of pictures because Andy was just starting to get better, but here are a few from the week.

Abby loves being held and cuddled by her grandma!


Abby and her Great Grandpa Wise

In her Christmas PJ's and bunny hat... so cute!



Highlights from the week:
-Trisha's yummy cooking- nothing beats a good home-cooked meal!
-Bruiser got walked at LEAST 5 times a day by Bruce. Needless to say, by the end of the week he had lost a few pounds and was the most well behaved dog we have ever seen. Hmmm maybe we should try walking him more often at home??
-Seeing how big Andy's cousins sweet kids have gotten in the past year. Especially sweet Anna, who will be a fun playmate for Abby in the future.
-Andy went from taking one short (and by short, I mean 5 minutes, TOPS) walk a day to taking several long walks each day
-Christmas cookies and lemon bars!
-Making our family's recipe for Peanut Brittle for the first time all by myself!
-Waking up on Christmas morning next to my husband, five days after his tumor was successfully removed, and realizing the best gift I got this year was him, alive and well, to wake up next to me for many Christmas mornings to come
