We had fun at the Carroll Family Christmas in Weimar. Braden loves his Mr. Potato Head! The adult gift exchange was entertaining.
Braden and I traveled to Gran's the week before Christmas. We got to help finish wrapping gifts and relax a bit before additional travel began.
- We had Christmas with Grandad on Christmas Eve. Braden gave Wyatt some puzzles and Braden received a rocking chair that Grandad painted.
- We opted to only take gifts to Nannie & Papa's for those that were not going to be at Gran's after Christmas (and a couple for the kiddos). Our side ended up staying at N&P's while Teri's clan went to church on Christmas Eve - flip! Christmas morning seemed rushed. Everyone hardly had time to wake up and get a drink before gifts were being piled in front of us - annoying. Braden loves his puppy guitar and dump truck! We ended up finishing the gift opening quickly. As we were preparing to leave, Shanna and Clayton called to let us know they would be stopping by so we stayed to wait for them.
- After traveling back to Gran's Christmas day we had dinner and resumed gift exchange. The kids made off like bandits - of course. Braden now has a fairly complete band set-up: kitty piano, puppy guitar, bongo, drum pads, and other miscellaneous hand-held percussion items = a seldom quiet house! :)
After Christmas, we opted to stay at Gran's through New Year's Eve. We came back on New Year's Day so we would have some time to unpack, organize, and relax before returning to school.
I would say that the Winter Holidays were a success!
