I'm sure you've wet your pants with excitement just waiting for the obligatory Christmas post.
Speaking of, can you spot the child with frozen pee on his pants?
And is it very obvious I cropped out the girls gross tennis shoes?
And can you tell that Sadie is freezing to death in her short sleeves because I made her take off her unmatching jacket?
All I wanted for Christmas was a photo shoot. And I got it, by george. And the fact that Justin has peed his pants like 2 other times in his life and decided to do it that day on the drive to the picture location did not stop me.
p.s. That photo is your Christmas card. No time, remember?
Christmas took place at one of our favorite vacation spots. We spent a week with Steve's parents and Laura and Jake. We did some sledding, tubing, Gatlinburg-ing, made like 50 trips to Walmart and toured the Biltmore House (um, AMAZING).
The best part was the surprise snow. There was some on the ground when we got there but at the end of the week we got near 12 inches within a couple of days. The first white Christmas in that area in 20 years. Our drive home was delayed a day until we were able to get some chains to get out. Thankfully it was not one of Ty's off days because apparently everyone else from Florida was driving home from North Carolina at the exact same time. FYI, that extra little seat in a Honda Odyssey is only comfortable for an adult for like maybe an hour, not 11 1/2 hours.
The kids got inventive and carved out a track in the snow down the hill behind the house and climbed into garbage bags to slide down. They called it "snow bagging". I also did it, hit my head on a tree and about killed my 35 year old self. There is no photo or video evidence so it will just be a memory. If I can even remember it.....what was I saying?

great pictures of the kids!!!!
These pictures are gorgeous! Ouch, I can't believe you hit your head on a tree...I was terrified of doing that the last time we were up north and playing on icy snow. love the pic of the kids crowded around the D.S.'s in the hotel! Those things make long car rides and boring hotel rooms so much easier!
