Christmas Part 3

Christmas continued when we headed south to see Grams and Pops in Virgina! The drive down there takes forever but it was well worth it this visit because we were going to get to stay for almost a full week. We decided to leave right after dinner and drive into the early morning hours so little miss Addie would sleep for the most part and Owen would too. Overall it worked well, we lost a little sleep but the ride was quiet so we will take it.

The next morning Owen woke up to Gram's HUGE Christmas tree with presents overflowing under it. He couldn't wait to dig in and with the help of Auntie Lizzie the elf, he had so much fun unwrapping all of his wonderful new and exciting toys. Addie had fun too but I still think she liked the paper and boxes the best ;).

 Time to play with the presents! 

The best part about this trip had to be all of the extra time Noah and Owen got to spend together. Like I have said before, they love playing with each other and get along so well. They both play very similarly which works out great for everyone! I think their favorite activity was bouncing in the bounce house in Grams and Pop's basement. They could've bounced all day long if you let them but even when the bounce house was deflated they had so much fun just playing down in the basement building train tracks, zooming with cars, cooking in the pretend kitchen, playing catch and playing with all of their daddy's toys when they were little. It was so awesome for the boys and they really did love it and so did we!

And as a special gift, Auntie Lizzie got each of the kids a set of matching elf pajamas. She even managed to find a matching pair for herself! And because they all had them we had to get a picture with Auntie Lizzie with her little elves -- which was hysterical. I'm not sure we got one good one, but they all looked cute anyway!
