Santa Claus is coming to a different town

Ansley and I came to Huntsville to visit with the family for the holidays. Unfortunately, Justin, Tricia and Kayla are in Hawaii this year and we are really missing them. Mike and I thought we were going to stay in Orlando this Xmas but since Jason, Lyn and Ody were able to come to my parents, we decided to come as well. Mike is not able to come until Christmas Eve because he doesn't have any time off available but we have missed him so much. I have to tell you...I was scared about making the trip without Mike. I was nervous that I would not be able to handle it but as usual...Ansley was awesome. We flew Southwest and we were able to get boarding group A (which meant that we could board the plane first) and so we took a seat near the front. It was funny because right up until the very last person boarded...no one wanted to sit next to us. They went ALL the way to the very back of the plane to avoid having to sit next to a baby. Little did they know just how good Ansley is and would have been completely fine sitting next to us. Don't get me wrong...I loved having an open seat (make that 2) next to me...you won't hear any complaints from me about it. Everything was good and Ansley has been doing great. She gets her special bath time with Grandma and Grandpa which she loves. I have taken many pictures and video...but I am not able to post it until I get back home. I will have to do an "overview" of Xmas and put all of those up for you to see. Well, Mike gets here next week and we are SO excited. Ansley really misses her Daddy. We talk to him every morning and night (and a few times during the day) but her eyes light up when he talks to her and I am not just saying that. She really knows his voice and I think she is going to be super excited to see him. Although I am excited about this Christmas...I think next year will be even more fun because Ansley will be so much more aware. Well, I will defintely write some more later to tell you how things went but for now I am going to go spend some time with the fam.
