Celebrating Christmas - A Day Late

Christmas day was spent either inside a car or inside an airplane. It was a long, long day. A special thank you to Alex for giving us a ride to the airport at 4:00am on Christmas morning. Their son Leo gave Caleb and Myah stuffed animals for Christmas - Myah's was a girl moose and Caleb's was a boy moose who's antlers lit up. It kept him very happy on the plane - thanks Leo!
We celebrated Christmas the day after with my parents in PA and my brother and his family. We hadn't seen their little boy since he was 5 weeks old and, boy, has he changed. He has already surpassed his older cousin Myah in size (not too hard of a feat, but she
is six months older than he is). The kids all had fun playing together but I never realized how hard it is to get three small children to sit still and look in one direction at the same time. I don't think it happened the entire time we were in Pennsylvania.

Myah got her own purse, so hopefully she will stay out of Mommy's.

Myah had to hand each piece of wrapping paper to someone before she would pull off another piece.

Caleb's beloved Star Wars Legos - the one thing he specifically asked Maw-Maw for.

Myah's favorite thing? You guessed it - bread!
