Well our LONG journey began bright and early Thursday morning. To break up the trip we went to PA first and then Friday morning we were up bright and early to head to Rochester...another 6 hours in the car...tis the season ;)
making some pancakes with Pop-Pop on Friday morning!
Landon is obsessed with Mickey right now! LOVES "mick-mick" :) We spotted these jammies at Walmart and he just had to have them...even though they're about 2 sizes too big!
Being such a good man on the car ride!
Such a sweet traveler!
Our captain :)
I am USUALLY sandwiched between the two kiddos in the back of the van and the front seat is filled...there was a centimeter for me to move up front for some "fresh air" so I took the opportunity!
After a quick stop at a Panera SOMEWHERE in northern PA, we FINALLY made it to Aunt Kristin's house! The cousins warmed up to each other right away, which was so sweet.
Kristin planned to have a few family members over for a delicious turkey dinner on Friday night. It was great to see some of Keith's family!
Although Friday night proved to be a bit of a long night (kids up, Keith on the sofa coughing up a lung, once one child fell asleep the other was up...always fun) Reagan's prayer (literally, she prayed for snow!!!) was answered!!! We woke up to a BEAUTIFUL snowfall!! They probably got about 3ish inches, maybe more...it was hard to tell because it was blowing like crazy. Everyone was SO excited!
Sweet man's first look at snow!
Alex was out shoveling early!!
The girls played so well together on the laptop waiting for Tom to get back from his mom's house who happened to have plenty of snow gear for my southern children :)
Landon was lovin' sister's Rapunzel slippers!
(These will be GREAT one day to look back on...I know he'll love me for these!)
Sweet heads...Reagan was teaching them all about "Minnie's Bow-tique" on the iPad!
All bundled and READY!!
Marshmallow man!
Ummm...let's just say we have a summer lovin' beach girl on our hands!! She lasted all of 2.2 seconds outside :) Keith said she made a snow angel and that was about all she was interested in...in her defense it was VERY cold and VERY windy! Landon LOVED it though and cried when it was time to come in.
After lunch, which was Pontillo's Pizza, (Keith's fave!!) we did Christmas with the cousins. They were all so cute. Reagan scored some great new dress up goodies as part of her gifts!
Saturday night was Keith's family's annual Christmas party. The kiddos looked so cute...Landon was NOT having it getting in the picture. They had a blast at the party, even though we were way past bedtime! I changed the kids into their jammies at the party, which worked out because they fell sound asleep on the way back to Kristin's and never woke up until the next morning! Yes, we all got a MUCH better night's sleep on Saturday...phew!
We left Sunday around noon to head back to PA for Christmas! It was a long drive and quick trip, but we're so thankful we were able to be with Keith's family and celebrate Christmas with them.
