We left the warm, sunny Austin weather behind this Christmas and drove north to Missouri! Our adventure started in the middle of nowhere (a.k.a. my parents' house). We spent 5 days on the farm - playing with Uncle Jon & Aunt Shannon, riding the tractor with Grandpa, celebrating Christmas & Nicholas' birthday, cooking with Grandma, and doing many crafts. The boys had a great time and Jason enjoyed seeing the new house for the 1st time.
We left the farm to head to KC on Christmas Eve. We knew bad weather was coming, so we left the farm early... or at least we tried to. Jason drove the van into a ditch not 100 yards from my parents' house (still on their 1/4 mile long driveway). After many feeble attempts to get out of the ditch, we had to call a tow. The drive from that point was awful. Pouring down rain, thick fog, and strong winds. We made it to KC okay - before the SNOW! It snowed so much we were homebound on Christmas Day! In KC, we celebrated Christmas with Jason's family (including Great-Grandma & Aunts & Uncles), celebrated Nicholas' Birthday, and ate at some of our favorite and much-missed restaurants. Jason & I went out on a "date" with Tatiana & Craig - so wonderful! Nicholas had a birthday party with many of his KC friends (he LOVED seeing all the kiddos!).
Back in Austin, we had our family Christmas on December 30th (better late than never!). Santa even made an extra trip to our house on December 29th! We are so special, you see!
We had a wonderful Christmas & our children were spoiled beyond belief!
