While we were there we shared some exciting news with our family...
We're expecting baby #3!!!
We told the grandparents with these shirts, but we pretty much had to point it out to them after a little while for most of them to even notice! Everyone was excited!
Here are the girls at the airport the day we flew to AR. 
The flight went very well, although no naps were taken even though it was during "naptime". I guess there was just too much going on for that to happen. Madilynn did amazing and was so laid back and calm she sat back and watched a movie pretty much the entire time. Elizabeth did well -like not screaming and throwing a fit, but she just had to be entertained constantly, so Michael and I took turns with her. Overall, the flights went really well and it was soooo much easier than traveling TWO FULL days in the car!

We enjoyed getting to spend the day together!
My dad and Pam drove up to Fayetteville to visit for a couple of days while we were there. It was so nice we spent a little time at the park (with no jackets!) We had a great visit!
Elizabeth wanted to climb up the slide and then slide back down on her belly!
so big!
We took the girls up to the stride-rite store for some new shoes!
I didn't do a very good job of taking pictures all throughout the week...

I guess Elizabeth didn't want to be held, but we got one anyway!
Madilynn & Madison
Me, my Mom, and sister Ashlee
getting ready to open presents
We spent the night with Granny and Pepaw and spent Christmas morning with them. Elizabeth checking out the tree, and presents...
Elizabeth liked the bows!
Madilynn got some new princess dress up dresses and shoes. Here she is checking out the shoes and crowns!
wearing the "Belle" dress
Then Michael took Madilynn for a little ride on the four-wheeler. (The same 4-wheeler that his Pa used to take him riding on!)
For lunch we went over to visit Grandma & Grandad Pate and Kyle. Again I didn't do a good job getting pictures.
But, you can see Elizabeth loved the piano!
Then we spent the rest of the evening with Nana, Papa, and Ashlee.

Elizabeth ready to open her present
She got a cute bag with her name on it - I love it!
Here we are on Christmas day the only picture of the four of us!
Madilynn and Elizabeth had fun with cousin Brianna
Elizabeth even tried on Daddy Gene's hat!
The day after Christmas we celebrated with Daddy Gene and Ladonna. I'm so glad they were able to make it up while we were in town!
We had such a great time getting to visit with everyone (and getting to share our news in person!). It was the busiest trip we've had though, and we didn't get to see some friends. It's hard when you only go back once or twice a year. We flew back to Utah on Tuesday the 28th. The flight went well again (left at 5:30pm) and we made it home that night by 10pm even after stopping by the store for some breakfast essentials!

So happy for you. Congrats to you and Michael. Glad the flying went well. We are debating flying or driving to FL next fall. If we drive we will take Grandpa too? Advice?
