Day 82: Traveling South for the Winter

Today my mom and I drove South for the next few days. We are visiting my cousin Scott and his kids Kyle (6) and Brennan (18mos). Brennan is sick and in the hospital (continual prayers needed), so we are here to spend time playing with Kyle while we're all on break. Be looking for a link to the website about Brennan that I'll be working on the next few days. Yep, that's right, I'm starting my cousin Scott on blogging on a website. Hooray! I love being able to be connected with my family.

On the 5 hour drive today, Mom and I played the license plate game. We shouted out whenever we saw an out of state tag. Whoever got it first got the point. Mom won 11-9. Pretty entertaining...

I forgot to tell you! During the Christmas season, my mom and I count how many times we hear certain Christmas songs. It started with Feliz Navidad, last year was Walking in a Winter Wonderland, and this year was Jingle Bell Rock. Between my mom, brother, and I, we totaled 62 Jingle Bell Rocks this season. That was only what we heard. Next year we want to count Sleigh Ride. It's SO popular! (In case you were wondering, Winter Wonderland has them all beat by a huge landslide, not that we remember the actual number right now...)

Off to bed since Kyle will inevitably wake us up super early. As my cousin Jamie who is currently visiting, too, put it tonight: " As age increases, spontaneous non-sugar-induced energy bursts decrease exponentially. It is a proven fact." Kyle was Crazy Hyper. And all of us were not to say the least. Ok. Goodnight! Wow... this is the earliest I've posted like... ever.

The Third thing at Christmas that is so dear to me:
