Road trip...road trip...road trip...

Hello Everyone,

So I am wayyyyyy behind in my blog posts...so in the next couple of days I will attempt to try and get you all caught up. The Garris family has had a very busy last couple of months in 2010. We embarked on a road trip to visit family over Thanksgiving that allowed us to spend some quality time with loved ones. The trip began with an overnight stay in Rockforde, IL...in a Days Inn that was less than glamourous. A small full sized bed and a little bathroom were met with cheers and excitiment from our girls...Ava exclaimed, "This is the best night ever Mommy & Daddy! Thank you so much!" As you can tell she is easy to please, and such a trooper when it comes to road trips! The girls did amazingly well. We drove to Minnesota first to visit my sweet niece Luci and awesome nephew Gabe...as well as my sister and brother in law. We had a great time eating and taking care of the kids during the day. We asked Gabe if there was anything in the world that he could do what would it be...Corey tried to coax him into some great answer...like, "Go around the world..." or...."Go to outer space..." Gabe simply answered, "Play with Ava..." So sweet...Ava unfortunately got quite sick...with a bad stomach bug on the last day in Minn. She was trowing up for hours...and into the next day where blue anti-freeze looking popsickle came spewing out of her mouth en route to Lincoln, NE...stopped at McDonalds in Minn...cleaned her up...you get the picture...NOT FUN! Yucky!

We then made it to Nebraska a tired bunch from a night of terror...only to be met with a loving warm beautiful home...nothing beats parental love...so blessed. We had a great time seeing extended family, opening gifts, and recovering from sickness with lots of love and care. The girls were able to drive around a sweet Barbie jeep that is currently still being worked on by Grandpa! If anyone can fix it Grandpa Garris can!!!! We believe in him :)....I will update more as I post pics!

Love,
Cyndia for Corey, Ava and Rylee
