Christmas Event 2

Note to self: Bellis Fair Mall exit...not a shortcut Friday night, 5pm, during Christmas.

After a long 2 hour trip up to Nooksack (thanks to a 35 min "shortcut" around the mall...we don't go up there much so no, we didn't know how bad it gets!) we made it to my parents' house for the Bauthues family Christmas. Matt, Bethany and kids just got back from San Diego this week after a four month stay so it was very fun to visit with them again. All of us kids haven't been together since last Christmas and I loved getting to visit with all of them. We had lots of gifts to open, expecially the little girls, they were the most fun to watch. The little boys had a good time trying to play together...a lot of grunting and hand flapping but what can you expect from babies?! We lasted until after 10 and then bundled our babies in the car for a windy trip home. We woke up this morning to a crips 9 degree morning (that's with NO wind) and Abby was VERY VERY excited about seeing her Little People farm set up. Animals in the barn, animals out, animals in, animals out, you get the idea. She got a tractor with animals on it too and they joined the farm animals...sheep with sheep, cow with cow, etc...she's a smidge OCD and I lover her for it! Trey got a couple of his toys out and seemed a little miffed when they were taken away for nap time. Both kids are down for early naps today so I'm hoping to get some things cleaned up and some more new toys set out for them.
