Precious Jewells: Christmas Adventures

This year we spent most of the holidays away from home. We went to Batesville the weekend before Christmas and Christmas Eve to spend time with the Jewells. We had a great time.

Brandon, James, Carey, Gary, Brayden, Kathey, and Gary

Brayden really enjoyed his race car track and his new football. He loves to play tackle.

Then we headed to Columbus, OH Christmas Eve to eat our favorite steak, crab and lobster meal. My sister, Tricia, had everyone over to their new house Christmas Day. The food was great and company even better. We had our Christmas exchange game and the funniest gift this year was a snowball maker and snowman kit.

Jaxx and Bella on their new pillows. These were Christmas presents and they were awesome. Jaxx loved his so much that he was on it most of the time we were in Columbus. He still loves it at home but thinks he needs to sleep on Bella's bigger one.

Rob and Justin?????

They have always been a little special. Back to the adventures. Brayden and I stayed in Columbus until Friday just hanging out with Tricia, Justin, Rob, Erica and Mom. We shopped, ate, and ate some more. We also went to the Bodies exhibit, which was pretty neat and not so gross if you've ever taken gross anatomy. We left Friday and headed back to Osgood. Gary had been in Indy working on the basement and met us for Christmas with the Collins clan on Sunday. We had the best time playing the Nintendo Wii. We found out our fitness age.
