After an eight hour trip, we arrived in KC on Friday afternoon around 4:30 and checked into our hotel on The Plaza. We spent the evening with Courtney's uncle, Mark, and enjoyed walking around The Plaza and having a yummy dinner! Each year for Christmas, The Plaza is lit with thousands of Christmas lights and is such a festive place to be and enjoy! On many occasions, we take carriage rides around, but it was late and cold for our little one. After opening gifts, it was time for bed!
On Saturday morning, we met up with Courtney's great-aunt for breakfast. While we were eating, it even snowed a bit! Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to really stick much, but it was still beautiful! We picked up Nana (Courtney's grandma) and headed about an hour away to spend the day with Courtney's aunt, uncle, and cousins. We spent the day catching up, playing, and of course doing our typical Christmas events like reading the story of Jesus' birth, singing Happy Birthday to Jesus and blowing out the birthday candles, and opening gifts! It was such a great day!
We headed back home on Sunday morning and walked in the door to our house a little after four o'clock. Jacob did an amazing job in the car, he's such a trooper!

Our happy (albeit tired) family!

We can just tell that these two are going to be trouble when they get older!
A quiet moment to himself
Too distracted to take a picture with Mim!
Jacob's new trick, fake crying!
Two seconds later, happy as can be!!
Singing Happy Birthday to Jesus
Complete joy!
