We left Friday after Kyle got off work and drove half way (St. Louis). The kids did great! They are at the age now where they are pretty easily entertained. Besides a few extra potty breaks for Miss Nora the 1st leg went smoothly and we drove late into the night so the kids slept for a good portion.
We got up bright and early the next morning for the the final leg. Kyle's former team and some of his favorite people in the world had made it to the playoffs and were playing near our route home so we made a little detour to drop him off and watch the game/chat with his friends. The kids and I trekked on for the final 2 hours. We finally made it to Grandpa and Grandma's house and it was a very welcome sight!
After unpacking the van we quickly commenced relaxation mode and the kids LOVED playing with their grandparents.
The next morning we celebrated Christmas.
Nora is already an expert present opener and she loved her getting her very own fishing pole.
Sawyer loved all his gifts, but he was obsessed with the jumbo candy canes.

| Loving on her new baby doll, this was a hug, not to be mistaken for a choke hold |

| Taking a ride in the tractor with Grandpa |
 |
| Decorating Papa and Tache's tree, he was very focused |
The next morning and Papa and Nora made pancakes.
 |
| Then to run out some energy they played in the big rock pile |
