Time with the Ellison's

This Thanksgiving, Bailey, Scott and I made our way up to Nixo, MO to see and spend some much needed time with the Ellison's. We left Abilene on Tuesday morning and drove over 600 miles. On the way, we stopped to have coffee with Zach Wilson, it was good to see him. on the way home we saw Heather Bird and Zach... had a nice lunch.

The week we were there we played the Wii, played with the boys, ate a ton, met John's family and just caught up on each others lives. It was a blessing to be with them and get to love on them for all the people back home. The boys are so big now! Eli is 5 and Evan is 3. We visited their schools and they took us to some of their favorite places; Bass Pro shop, Steak and Shake, Andys Custard, and bai and I even got to go on a girls night date with Stephanie. I got to nap with Evan a few times and put them to bed, much needed cuddling time:) Evan is talking up a storm!... so much different than the little guy I remember, he's such a hoot. Eli is so grown up and is just a smart little guy.

We ended up driving a total of 1,242 miles!!! Talk about distance:)
All in all it was a GREAT trip and full of new memories that I will cherish!
