Our Christmas Travels 2011

We had a great Christmas week...I say week because it lasted that long with us traveling from one family to the next. It was so fun to have Logan off of work and to all be together for that long. We left the day before Christmas Eve and headed up to Weatherford. We got to see Papaw Platt and Mamaw while we were there. My Papaw had a stroke over Thanksgiving and they have both moved now to an assisted living place in Weatherford. It was good to see them but hard to keep the boys entertained in their room without them destructing something!

Next, we headed to Melody's on Christmas Eve and spent the night with them that night. We got to go to their Christmas Eve service at their church. The boys had a blast of course playing with Kiersi and Kayden.

Cookies before bed....makes perfect sense :) Oh well...it's Christmas!!!

Pops and Grams and their grandkids!

Tyson even got something from his Aunt Mel....really cute! I can't wait for him to be here!

Santa did find us even though we weren't at our house.....

My sister and brother-in-law were great hosts as usual and it was a fun time with them. We ate some homemade cinnamon rolls the next morning (Christmas day) and then got on the road headed to Kansas. When we got there everyone was already over there eating and celebrating. Aunt Janet gave all of us aprons her friend had made....mine has an interesting bump underneath it :)

Fun bubble baths in Mimi's bathtub......

Look at all those boys and their bare bottoms.....and to think there are 2 more missing from the picture!!! TOO cute!!

Weston was introduced to the Wii and loved it.....he actually was better than I thought. Kai can beat me at anything he plays :) They had fun playing on this together.

It was funny going from my sister's house where they were pushing around baby doll strollers to getting to Mimi's house and they are pushing around dumptrucks while they are shooting bad guys with their dart guns! Oh my the differences!!

Mimi and Pawpaw and all their grandsons....minus one coming soon :)

Krieger family.....Baby Nate was born November 29th....he's as cute as can be and definitely looks like the other 2 boys.

If that happens I better be getting a picture of it :)



Caleb giving the dogs some Captain Crunch...

On Thursday, we all loaded up and went to the zoo. It's the best zoo that I've ever been to before. The boys had a great time.

This is how Weston wanted to be carted around the zoo.....laying down in the wagon.

Weston got a little practice with baby Nate before we headed back....

Mimi tried to work a little magic with Caleb on the potty chair. He never went but he sure didn't mind sitting on it. It was too cute to see him up there with his squishy legs and puppy in his hand.

We had a great time in Kansas.....really hard to leave....harder this time than ever before and maybe somewhat because Mallory and Jason are living there now and we know it's going to be awhile before we see everyone again. Thanks for a great Christmas and time together. We love you all!

And yes, this is real......this is Weston asleep on the way home. We did for the first time ever have some actual overlap of them BOTH sleeping at the same time. Now it didn't last very long but it was glorious for those few minutes.

We stopped back in Weatherford on the way back and stayed a night. Pops and Grams actually let us and Melody and Greg all go out while they kept the kids. We had a lot of fun....went to eat and then went to Starbucks and played cards and did a lot of laughing. The boys had to get in a few rides on the big blue tractor before we could head home. Thanks Pops!

We also celebrated our 6th anniversary on New Year's Eve. We drove home and unpacked the car that day but it was a day spent together so that's all that matters. I am so thankful for my hubby.....he continues to be my very best friend and someone that I want to spend my time with. We have a blast together and love doing so many things with each other. He loves the Lord with his whole heart and always puts Him first when leading our family and making decisions. I am so very thankful for him and that the Lord brought us together 6 years ago.
