Holiday fun

We scooted out of town this weekend to go visit with family a couple hours away.  It was great to get together in between Thanksgiving and Christmas; seems to just naturally take some of the chaos out of holiday get togethers.  We are officially done traveling for this season and it feels GOOD.  Stay local and enjoy relaxed time together making memories.

After we got back home Sunday, we started putting up Christmas decorations. 

Here are some pics of the weekend, enjoy!

Beautiful sky on our ride to our destination



The King joined us for our ride :)




Playing with Uncle John




"Helping" with the Christmas tree.



Wonder of lights.



awkward picture positioning- but wonderful invention to keep toddler occupied for 20 mins in car :)

Excuse the last picture- didn't correct the orientation before posting (oops).  G got an early Christmas gift that reads him books and lets him color and play games.  It was GREAT for an extended car ride.

Lastly, I found a pin linking to THIS blog last night.  Take a look at the idea for giving back (the true meaning) of this season.  I think it is GREAT- simple and great!

Happy Monday!
