Christmas Trip- Part 3 AKA Andrus Family Sightings

Between Christmas and the Wedding we went down to Blackfoot, ID for a few days to spend some time with my Mom and Dad. I was so excited/surprised when the Bryans and the Crofts showed up, plus the next night the Pack clan came too. So fun to play with some of my favorite people! I loved seeing my girls and singing together even if we only did it for a few minutes! I didn't do as good at taking pictures on this leg of the trip but I did catch a few prime moments! We really had a fun and overall relaxing time. I also received more beautiful presents, and while I am thankful for them all my Breville Juice Fountain deserves a shout out all its own! (Maybe a whole post of its own) I feel completely spoiled and I am loving it. This is going to sound cheesy and cliche, but seriously already I am seeing how it is going to be life changing. So yeah I will post more about that later.
Grandpa reading stories to the little girls :)
Grandma playing board games with the little kids. They had so much fun!


. . . more lego building fun!

my Mom, the bubble lady. So Fun!

I'll probably be in trouble for posting this, but just believe me I could have been more mean and posted other pictures instead. Okay?! Are we still friends Brit? We had so much fun playing Just Dance on the Wii. We also had a great time playing Wackee Six as teams. Loved it!
My sweeties were still fighting the crud and we finally took them to the Urgent Care to get them looked at. Preston had an ear infection, Rebekah they deemed to just have a bad cold--I was relieved it was not strep :) They were troopers and I was so thankful to my Mom and Dad getting up in the night and helping me to care for them. It is never fun to be sick, but being away from home on a really busy week was a little more stressful. My parents are amazing in their knowledge and use of Essential Oils and I am grateful I had them available throughout my trip to help support my little family as we fought off illness and still enjoyed our time with our family--I am a huge believer of the oils--they definitely helped us to be more comfortable.Preston slept through the whole visit at the Doctors office. We could not stop laughing. So funny. I am thankful for the kind PA we saw and a fast fill at the nearby pharmacy. Seriously, those kinds of things just make your life easier! I am thankful for the blessings of available health care and insurance.
