We traveled to Virginia this Christmas to stay at my sister's house and visit with my parents. The 'Brady Bunch' cousins (Allison's 3 girls and our 3 boys) love being reunited; this time, complete with baby Owen. Emma and Molly have doted on Owen and both ask to hold and feed him often.
After church on Christmas Eve, we returned to Allison's house. Each child opened a gift from MiMi and PopPop and loved the present preview.
After dinner the kids put on their pjs, sprinkled reindeer food and carrots in the yard, and gathered by the fire place to listen to Emma read, 'Twas The Night Before Christmas.' However, the reading was interrupted by the certain hearing of sleigh bells outside. Within an instant, all the kids squeeled with excitement and ran with such determination and intention to jump into bed as to not prevent Santa from skipping the house!

The Elf On A Shelf! We were given this as a gift and we've had such fun! 'Jet,' our Elf's given name, traveled to VA and the kids are convinced is 'Mart's' (Allison's Elf) cousin.
Do you see the joy radiating from Logan? That's because he has just transformed into his most favorite character, Wyatt, from PBS' Super WHY show. Oh, and yes, he most certainly did wear his costume throughout dinner and to bed.

Julia and Logan sipping sparkling white grape juice. In fact, Logan chugged a second glass at dinner, put in down and while pointing to the empty glass, exclaimed, "Yes, I do like that."
Awaiting...
