Home for the Holidays

We arrived in Omaha early on the morning of Friday, the 16th, with just a few hours of rest time before our 9AM closing on our new home. Closing went successfully and then we checked out our new home before leaving the carpet cleaners to do their job. We camped in our new home from Saturday night through Sunday. Monday the movers arrived with our belongings and I registered the kids for school. The next week was filled with unpacking, arranging, trying out a day or two of school, and more unpacking. Friday night (Dec 23rd) we headed to Colorado for the rest of the holiday season.

Saturday morning we simply enjoyed the Murrays and the snow.

We also enjoyed seeing my brother Adam.



Saturday evening, we had the Annual Christmas Murray Talent Show at Catherine and Aaron's house.

A great pic of Cat and Annie


The girls sang Christmas Eve Eve (Sheri was not really in the mood, having just been awakened. She did smile for the pic though.


Sterling did a solo to "Why Won't You Fly?" He was pretty pleased with himself after, and so was I.

Hearing my family perform was a wonderful! I also enjoyed all the other talents including my sisters' mother in laws' talents. I am glad we made it to Colorado this year!

Post note: Please forgive me for any missing photos. My camera ran out of batteries near the end.
