December

We just got back from a wonderful trip to Virginia! We got to spend Christmas with my sister and her adorable little family!!!! Cambridge was absolutely perfect in the car both ways... again! That is 20 hours in a car total. We are so shocked and lucky.

Virginia Highlights

We went on a really fun "tacky lights" tour, and Cambridge even got to see Santa! Then my new favorite thing, too bad it is too far away to make it a tradition, we got to go to a little zoo and see a live nativity! Way cool! One of the Wise Men even gave Cambridge some of his gold! They had a youth choir singing, and we got to see the donkey and a camel close up. Did anyone realize how big camels are? Geez.





Christmas was great, all of the boys were so cute together and they had lots of fun opening up their presents. It was so fun to be around little kids again! I got one of the coolest gifts, a Christmas wreath complete with hangy thing and storage box! What a great idea.


My parents gave us a great new game, Mexican Dominoes--for anyone who hasn't played it yet, you totally should, we all had a lot of fun playing it! And of course we got a good game of Settlers in and progressive rummy.

Then we got to go to the beach! I just love the ocean! It was so fun to be there even though it was a little cold. Ryan and I even got wet! Thanks Braxton. We also toured a battle ship the USS Wisconsin.



Which guns are bigger?


We also got to go to DC again! This time we visited the Holocaust Museum and the recently re-opened American History Museum! We had a lot of fun there, and the weather was really nice too! It was so weird to be enjoying such warm weather in the middle of the winter.

Thanks for a great vacation Scot/Tiffany.

We celebrated our Christmas a little early this year, because we were going to be out of town. Cambridge got lots of new fun toys this year, so he has been in kid heaven ever since. Thanks grandma's and grandpa's.

Yea, I'm just glad you had so much fun at Christmas and that Cambridge was good in the car. Katelyn was like that, it made it nice because we could go so many places. (This is Kristy)
