After our long car trip, we were ready for some fun on the Plaza! Our hotel was only a short walking distance from PF Chang's, where we had dinner. After dinner, it was time to walk around the Plaza and enjoy the lights. Jacob absolutely loves lights, so we knew he'd love the Plaza! It was pretty chilly at night, so he had to be nice and bundled up.
On Saturday, we headed out to Courtney's aunt and uncle's house to celebrate. There was snow on the ground, but fortunately the roads were perfectly clear! We didn't get to play outside because it was simply too cold! It got down to 4 degrees Saturday evening!!
Jacob loved spending time at Aunt Tracey and Uncle Eric's house and having playtime with his cousins! He also got to spend time with Momma's cousins and his Nana (Courtney's grandma). It was such a great time with family-the last time everyone had seen Jacob was the day he was born!
A highlight of the Christmas celebration is hearing the story of Jesus' birth. This year, it was Uncle Eric's turn to read and Ben enjoyed the story from the best seat in the room!
Aunt Tracey baked a birthday cake for Jesus that we all sang to and the kids got to blow out the candles. What wonderful traditions Courtney remembers participating in while growing up and now Jacob's gets to join in the fun!
While the trip was short, it was such a great time to spend together as a family. We are so excited to have shown Jacob Kansas City and the Plaza for the first time and look forward to many more trips in the future!!
