Jauberts in Louisiana again

Chris, Jessica, and Oscar were back in LA this year for Christmas. We were excited that they were going to be able to stay with us in our new home. They arrived Christmas night and had to drive 5 hours and battle the nasty rain to get to West Monroe. The next day the kids had a wonderful Christmas together opening presents. It is so fun to watch them tear into their gifts. It is really amazing to me how one year makes such a difference in their reactions and personalities. Oscar and Lilya are really growing up and changing. They really had so much fun together, we could hardly separate them. And this year was really interesting because it was monkey see monkey do. If one had it, of course the other had to as well. We took them to the mall to ride the carousel as we do every year it seems. We actually went two days in a row this year. The weather did not cooperate and was very rainy so our trip to the park was cancelled. We always enjoy their company and love spending time with them. It always feels like it goes by so fast though. Last year was very busy for us and we did not get to make a trip to Jackson Hole to visit. We definitely are this year though. Can't go another year without seeing them again. And who wouldn't want to visit Jackson Hole, Wyoming right??? We let Lilya decide this time if we would go in the summer or see the snow. She picked the snow!! So snow it is. We have booked our trip for March and can't wait to visit the Jauberts and Jackson Hole again!!!
