What a wonderful Christmas we had! We were supposed to fly home on Friday morning and just our luck our flight had been canceled due the weather. Then our rescheduled flight was canceled and THEN the next flight out was not until Saturday night and that would put us in phoenix after 1AM on Sunday morning. We decided to drive and with a quick trip to Walmart for a DVD player and some snacks, we were off. We left 1:00pm on Friday and drove to Wichita and stayed in a hotel, then made it to my moms house right after midnight on Saturday. Little K did pretty good. That DVD player was a life saver. 30 hours in a car seat is not fun for anyone.
Once at my moms, Little K was the center of attention and loved it. She had so many people that wanted to play with her. She was a bit shy to everyone at first but warmed up to them once they started feeding her candy (with a disapproving mom watching). We had great fun playing and hanging with my family. We went goofy golfing one night and had a blast. Little K loved picking up the balls and putting them in the hole ( I didn’t mind because she could save me a few shots)
Christmas Eve we drove up to K’s parents house. Little K’s cousin, who is 10 months older, was very anxious to play with her. He has the same sense of humor as Little K. They hardly ever fought and when they did it was pretty amusing. They are both very though kids and don’t cry over getting pushed down. Mostly he was running around and she was chasing him. I am so glad for the time that we had to spend with the family.
Christmas was great, we had Santa come visit on Christmas eve and little K was SCARED. She did not want to sit on his lap. I am so glad that we didn’t wait in the line at the mall for her to fight with us not to sit on his lap. Christmas morning was fun, she didn’t fully understand what was going on, but after a few gifts she learned that there were good things under the paper and boxes. She got a vacuum, broom and mop. ( She loves to help clean and I can take the help wherever I can get it) She got new books and lots of movies. Of course she got some clothes and her Aunt got her a super cute backpack. Her cousin got a John Deere Tractor power wheels and the 2 of them were on that thing all day long.
We got a little snow, enough to play a bit with. As you can see, Little K didn’t like to tube rides. She like riding the tractor with her cousin the most.
My in-laws got a fun new game called Blokus. I am addicted. It is a fun game for 4 people. I think I will have to get it and have Blokus nights.
(Right now, as I type this, K and his mom are doing physical therapy on his grandma. She had her knee replaces about 4 weeks ago. He is being so good with her and helping so much. It makes me realize how great of a chiropractor he will be. )
Jan 2 update** The drive home was way better than the drive out there. We left Eagar around 6pm and drove all night. Little K was asleep for the first 15 hours of the 26 it took to get home! It was good to get home but I know little K misses the attention. It was very cute, when we got home she was the happiest little girl ever. She was so excited to be home.
