We spent Christmas in Virginia this year. It's not always easy to travel during the Holidays with little ones, but it IS always worth it! It was such a fun visit, filled with traditions and great family time.
Happy Mimi!
Mimi and Papa Tom got a train for under their tree. This was a huge hit! It was even in working order by the end of our visit...I was fully expecting my crew to destroy it in no time :).
We did a lot of baking, playing, and staying up way past bed time.
We finally got around to sitting on Santa's lap...that clearly went great! Eli talked his ear off and Layla kicked him in the shin until I came to the rescue :).
I love the mall at Christmas time (and every other day of the year). :)
My mom hosted our family/friend Christmas party on Monday night. Eli and Uncle Pat got into lots of trouble, Layla babysat Buffy the dog, and we did a fun White Elephant gift exchange.
We got a lot of good Aunt Wiz time!
We did the traditional Christmas Eve service, and then went back to the Nichols' house to eat and watch the Grinch.
There was a lot of energy to burn off after church!
Santa found us at Mimi's house on Christmas morning! We opened gifts, and then got ready to head over to Grandma's house for Christmas brunch.
The annual "kids" picture. Love spending it with this crew!
My grandma got mustache's for all the guys!
We had some very unhappy campers when it was time to leave! We're thankful for very easy car trips both ways, and for the time we were able to spend together.
