Christmas at the Grandparents and TN

On actual Christmas Eve we spent the night at my parents then did a Christmas morning with the whole gang. How fun for the kids to be able to spend Christmas with all sets of family throughout the holiday!

Since I was feeling up for it we made the 5 hour trek to Tennessee. This year it was necessary to take 2 cars since we now have 3 kids and Even is a part of our family. Luckily, everyone was exhausted so the kids slept a good while on the drive up then did great the rest of the way. We only stopped once, for a potty break and to change Liam's diaper and give him a break from the carseat.

It was a good day :)

Liam experienced his first snow at 9 months old! When we were almost to TN, Kate mentioned we couldn't be there yet since it wasn't snowing. I don't even know how she remembers when it snowed there but she did and we sadly informed her that it doesn't always snow and wouldn't be this trip. Looks like we were wrong. Kate and Abby woke up the first morning to snow that was actually sticking. Even though it was freezing they had a blast playing outside. I had to take Liam out so he could experience the fun too. He loved it, even though it was freezing!
