Christmas Parte Quatro!?!?!?!

Well we definitley didnt think we'd get to a part 4 during our Christmas vacation! Turns out our cancelled flight gave us an extra 5 days in PA! We spent it mostly at the malls (there were 3 in the area!!!!!) spending our Christmas money! My parents even watched Kaiden so Darren could take me to see "Tangled" in 3D. Way cute! One night my parents took us all out to eat at a delicious authentic Italian place called Frank's where we all had the most amazing pizza. And let me tell you no one does pizza better than the east coast! The day before our flight home we all took a 1 1/2 hour drive to Hershey, Pennsylvania! Home of the Hershey Chocolate Factory also referred to as Chocolate World! We took a fun ride inside and took a tour on a trolley through the town of Hershey! The best part was the gift shop where Darren stocked up on FRESH Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (his fave!) And we swear they are FAR better fresh at the factory than we have bought at any store.

Still on the indoor ride!!!

Kisses for Kisses!!!
The next day we said our goodbyes and headed for the airport which I will save you the lengthy details, but was the worst flight experience of our lives. Thankfully my Aunt Stacie and Uncle John let us spend the night at their place which was fantastic because after the flight, Darren and I were exhausted! The next morning we packed up and headed towards Inkom! We spent a few hours at Aunt Darla's and Uncle Rod's playing games and snacking! YUM! And of course picking up Jozlyn who they generously watched for us. Then we headed over to Grandma Joyce's to spend the night! Uncle Steve and Aunt Heidi even came down to visit with us! Although Kaidedn shyed away from Grandma Joyce, when Uncle Steve came through the door he ran right up to him and gave him a hug and a kiss! lol Kaiden definitely wrapped Steve around his finger. He even warmed up to Heidi not letting her put him down for a minute! haha. Well we spent the night and the next morning drove the final leg of our trip after stopping at the grocery store of course. Gotta say we're glad to be back! Darrens only request was I make him my homemade mac n cheese straight away. haha. And the best news is Darrens school starts on the 5th not the 3rd like we had thought, which is why we took our time driving home. =) I can't say I'm happy to be in FREEZING weather with all this white stuff but it sure is good to be home. One more year and we're outta here!!! Im still hoping Darren gets accepted into a law school in Texas!! ;)
Happy New Year!!!!
