Well, our original plan was to stay here and have our own little Christmas in Buffalo, but to all of our surprise (yeah right), T.J. changed his mind and decided to go back to AZ at the last minute. So, we called in a favor to Santa and had Christmas here a little early. It was fun to have our little Christmas together which was peaceful and nice. While the kids were opening their toys, TJ was trying to open a tough one with his leatherman. All of a sudden I hear Timmy say "Mom, Daddy cut himself!" I looked over at T.J. and he had this stunned look on his face. I went to see what was going on, the cut was pretty darn deep so we loaded up into the truck, dropped the kids off at the Muglestons (thanks guys) and headed to the ER. I had to giggle to myself on the way there because we were in the ER on Easter too because of TJ. I was just hoping he wasn't going to make a habit out of holiday ER visits. He turned out to be fine and they glued him up. (Sorry no pics of the stab wound!)
The next morning we awoke to a huge snow storm, we got stuck in our driveway, in our truck, in 4-wheel drive, but we made it to the airport. We were very luck to make it out because we were the last flight out of Buffalo airport. The kids were wonderful on the plane, so it was a good trip. We spent the night in Globe and then made our way to Snowflake. All of my brothers and sisters were so thoughtful and bought small little gifts for my kids to open on Christmas morning because all of their gifts were in Buffalo. It meant a lot to us and them. We had a good Christmas and and headed to Globe to spend it with T.J.'s mom and dad.
T.J.'s mom and dad also got our kids a stocking full of goodies, which was really exciting for them. We ate tamales and menudo, and visited, played games and ate more etc. We had such a good time, but we had to leave on the 30th. Cassie took us to the airport the next day and we made it home. It was quite the shock to go from 70 degree weather to 14 degrees, but we were so excited to be home. What an adventure!
