Christmas Post

Here are our pictures from Christmas. I went down early with the boys so we were able to spend more time with the grandparents than we have in the past years. The boys went back and forth between families, having more and more fun everyday. My mom had a cute new mailbox that they would open everyday to find a surprise and fun activities planned for the day. Lily was there most of the time we were there so that was fun for them to get cousin time. One afternoon we went to see the trumpet swans that make their winter home near Heber Springs every year. It was neat, but very cold, so we did not last too long. The boys checked out the Christmas lights with Grandma and Grandpa- there are actually a lot of really good lights in Searcy.

The Christmas celebrations were numerous- we had Christmas with my family and with my extended family, Christmas with the Smiths and, of course, Santa came on Christmas morning. We had to tie our suitcase to the roof of our jeep to get home with all the gifts from family :) We had a great time and even had a surprise visit from Nathan's cousin Meggan and her husband and their boys Ethan and Grant. We were exhausted coming home and glad to be back, but it was a great trip.
