We drove to my parents house the night before Thanksgiving after EJ's basketball practice. My oldest brother and his family arrived sometime in the middle of the night. Thursday we had Thanksgiving dinner, laid around visiting and playing scattergories.
My brother's family lives in northern Indiana and they get stuck on the interstate with snow and ice every Christmas so they said they weren't coming at Christmas. So Friday morning we all woke up to stockings hung by the chimney with care and two excited little girls patiently waiting to open presents. Then that afternoon we had a family picture taken for the first time in seven years.
My nieces are so sweet with Ensley. They would sit beside her cranking a music box or shaking a rattle always making sure she was happy and entertained.
EJ had to leave early for basketball practice Saturday morning but Ensley and I stayed until Sunday afternoon. And speaking of basketball his girls are 5-1 so far and are playing really well. Ensley and I have been to three of the games and she seems to like basketball. I leave her in the carrier until she starts fussing around the third quarter. Then I sit her in my lap facing the game and she watches contently.
Anyway we enjoyed Ensley's first round of holidays. We have two more rounds to go...one on Christmas and one on New Years. Life is definitely better with her in it.
