For Christmas this year we loaded up the van and headed south to Kansas to visit Theresa and Dean. The 10 hour drive really seemed like nothing for me because I had help with Carter and it was 5 hours shorter than the trip to Colorado!
We got there on Christmas Eve and went to Church at 11pm. The car ride must have wore Carter out as he fell asleep standing up in the pew. After church, he could hardly wait to get home and put cookies and milk out for "ho ho" and carrot sticks out for "ruuoff". Theresa happened to have beef sticks so Carter also set out one of those for "ruuoff". He didnt put up a fight going to sleep that night but the next morning he wasnt sure he should go downstairs. I think he thought Santa and Rudolph were still there.
He had a blast opening up all his gifts and was very miticulous about getting all the wrapping paper and tape off of the boxes. He had a busy day playing with all of his new toys.
Aunt Brenna and Uncle Israel got to Theresa's house the day after Christmas. They had been in Tennessee visiting his family. We played lots of games and did a lot of shopping as well. It was nice that four of us siblings could be there and we missed Pander and Tracy and there family as they weren't able to make it.
I cut my very long hair off while we were in Kansas. I did this mainly in prepararation for the baby and the fact that it took so much shampoo and conditioner and time it was really getting old. I donated my hair to locks of love. It was down almost to my butt and it is now at the nape of my neck. I really like my new hair cut and I am so glad I finally just did it!
The weather was beautiful in Kansas....so beautiful, we forgot what the weather could be like back north. We headed for home on the 2nd of Janurary and pulled into the driveway around 8pm. We didnt make it very far into the driveway before getting stuck. Both mom and I were out shoveling. After awhile shoveling in sub zero degree weather we freed the van and headed for Nana and Gpas house to spend the night. We were able to get up the driveway the next morning after the neighbor scooped it out.
We had a really good time in Kansas but we were glad to be home....on the second try!
