Christmas Part 1

It wasn't long before we were back on the road, headed south. Westin came prepared with some light reading... he has been doing great on the car rides. Avery is not as big of a fan of the car. She'll nap for about half the ride, then take a bottle, and then get a bit stir crazy. I'm usually in the back seat with the two the second half of the drive. Luckily, major meltdowns didn't really happen until the last half hour of the ride.

For Christmas this year, we started at my dad's house. Chris and Kenzie arrived about the same time we did, but Trevor wasn't able to come in until Monday. Lazy mornings are the best.

Snuggling with aunt Kenzie is also the best!

Walks through Studio City to check out the holiday decor. This was a personal favorite.

Trevor arrived Monday, which meant the cookie decorating contest was on for Christmas Eve, which Trev's finance, Karla, was able to join us.

Another big year for me in the contest... took home the gold :)

And we always look forward to Christmas Even because we get our new pjs... which Kenzie and I always coordinate.

Could possibly be my favorite picture of the season.

Christmas morning always comes early, and this year was no exception. We were up and reading to open presents by 7, but Trev and Karla did a good job keeping Westin entertained until we had the entire gang up. 

Santa brought Westin his own set of golf clubs, Star Wars Legos, books, and some games. Grandpa Steve and Oma surprised him with a new basketball hoop and some new clothes. Without the Rich cousins around, it's kind of the Westin show on Christmas morning with my family, but he loves it. 

We finished up the morning playing with toys and making waffles. 

It was then time to pack up and head over to grandma Diana's house.
