The Holiday Season

We had an incredible holiday season! To begin the story, Mike finished school a little early because his last final was cancelled due to a snow storm. We were able to hang-out together and decorate for Christmas. Ben was pretty good with the tree and we only had one "problem."
My parents decided to come spend Christmas with us in the cold. We really enjoyed having them here! Ben loved being able to be with them and not just see them on the web-cam. We played lots of games, watched movies, and enjoyed being with family.
Ben loved hearing the Christmas story, as told by Papa Lance with the props, opening his gifts and playing with his new toys.
We drove down to Indiana to see Jason and Leann and be there for their new little girl, Candice's blessing. It was fun to see them and the kids. Jason took us to his school and for a drive around Louisville, Kentucky. Since we were in Louisville, Mike and I wanted to go see an old Tuberculosis sanitorium that is called Waverly Hills. In the 1930s, this huge, 5-story hospital was a place where tons of patients with TB went to get treatment. Because there were so many deaths, this building has been known as one of the most haunted places on earth. It was private property, so we tried to get close enough to get good pictures of it. I loved it and it was quite creepy to see this place.
We rang in the new year with tinsel hats and smiles on. It was a great holiday season and it was great to have family around to celebrate with us!! Pictures to come!

That is so interesting you went to Waverly Hills. Is haunted site visiting something you guys do often? If so there is a creepy place with a whole horror story where I grew up.
