Christmas Down South

Our next road trip was to Columbus to be with Jason's family. We got home from TN around 1:30AM, went to sleep, Jason went to work in the morning for a meeting while I unpacked and repacked, then around lunch time we drove to Columbus for Christmas number 3! If that sounds crazy you wouldn't believe how the rest of the week progressed.

Jason’s family did their Christmas party that night and the kids were loving playing together and opening gifts. Kate always has a blast playing with all the other nieces and nephews. She can't keep up but tries as hard as her little body will let her. The best is when she and Brady take a bath at night. It is so funny to watch them together, especially since she's older and not a very scrawny girl. She could crush Brady if she fell the wrong way!

The girls went shopping in the morning... this seems to be a new trend and I like it! Then we headed to Chucke Cheese for the most incredible pizza. I find little joys in being a parent; like when the greeter stamped Kate’s arm to match Jason’s and mine since she is our child or when Kate laughs going down the slide or holding Kate’s hand as she walks around the games and kids.



Kate's sad she can't ride a big wheel too


Look at her go!!! You'll also note how incredibly dirty she is. This is what happens when I leave her with Jason.


I love their blond hair! Such handsome boys

I did not plan on it being 75/80 degrees in December! Poor Kate only had sweaters and turtlenecks but was able to wear a 3T shirt, thanks to eating entire grilled cheese sandwiches. My mom likes to point out that I didn't eat an entire sandwich until I was 5!

The best part of our visits are when everyone is sitting around at night just hanging out and talking. The other best part is all the amazing food Jason's mom makes for us. Being with family is a big part of what makes Christmas so special!
