So the pictures on this post are going to suck because I have had the flash turned off on my phone and they are blurry. Anyways we had Christmas at my sister-in-law's house this year and it was so much fun. All the family was there, at least the immediate family, so the cousins got to play together and have a real good time.
When Paul and I went to Mexico I found out when you order a screwdriver, which is made up of orange juice and vodka, that in Mexico they don't use orange juice they use tang. By the end of our trip I was pretty use to tang! hahaha So for Christmas my father-in-law got me a Mexican screwdriver. Best gift to date from him!
We were out there for about 2 and a half days and we spent a lot of time just hanging out on the couch under the electric blankets.
The kids loved there gifts and had so much fun with all the chaos around us.
We drove home Christmas night after dinner and it was really starting to come down. We had to drive about 45 miles per hour so the trip took longer and all we heard the whole way home was...."I wish I was playing with my toys right now instead of riding in the truck". I love that paul and I are worried about the snow and staying on the road and that stuff doesn't even seem to phase the kids. It's all about the toys! hahaha oh to be a kid!
Well this picture is interesting because we have learned something about Brooke. While she is a great traveler and does really well while in the car we have figured out that the next day is really ruff on her. She has a tendency to throw up the day after traveling. She isn't sick it just seems to be how her little body coupes with traveling. She has done this before when we went to Utah to visit family. Oh the awful smell of sour milk that was left behind in my cousin playroom was the worst! She is only sick for a few hours and then she is over it.
When we made it back to our house we all fell in love with the electric blankets out at my sister-in-law's house that we went out and bought us one. The girls crashed on the couch and watched movie under it.
Brooke has always been my hot baby (even in womb) so she really didn't want anything to do with that hot blanket. She would touch the blanket and say "noooo hot".
Although there wasn't much snow we did play in what was out there. The kids were hoping for at least a couple of feet but we only got a couple of inches. We played games, put together a puzzle and just enjoyed hanging out together. I love that my nieces and nephews are getting older and can chat with the adults now. As I get older it is so much fun to hear about their lives and remember the times when we were that young.
