Home For Christmas Part 1

We decided to drive straight through the night. We left our apartment at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday the 19th.

One hour on the road and Truston was pooped

Zander was already asking the 4 dreaded words, "Are we there yet?"

And his now new famous words, "This is takin FOREVER"

About 8 hours into the trip

Truston woke up every time we stopped to get gas or go to the bathroom.

Zander slept like a baby and didn't wake up until the sun came up.

                 We arrived at my parents house at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday the 20th only 22 hours later! Besides the bags under mine and Matt's eyes and the few disagreements we had on the way it was a very pleasant trip.

THE CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES BEGIN...

First off on my list of things to do in the glorious state of Oklahoma

SEE MY FRIENDS!

Some of my oldest bestest friends ever! We went to church together, took dance classes together, stayed up all night talking, laughing, dressing up, sharing everything, and finished eachother's sentences.

I love these girls and I am so blessed to have them in my life and to have known them all for as long as I have lived. I enjoy getting to visit with them a few times a year and talk about what we are all up to and remember the good times we had growing up together.

And these girls are my highschool buds!

Rachel is engaged and getting married next April. I am going to be a braidsmaid just as she was in my wedding! I have known Rachel since 2nd grade. Love these girls!!!

It was a fun day playing catch up with everyone.

SUGAR COOKIE TIME

Matt special requested "christmas cookies" from his Granmommy this year.

So, we went to the Campbell's home and Charolette made homemade sugar cookies and icing.

Jordon so diligently cut them all out

They were quite excited to decorate their cookies

Matt was supposed to be helping with the making of the cookies but somehow he just helped with the eating of the cookies!

Look at these cuties...

 Jordon and Matt mini me's!

Yummo and they are sooo pretty!

GINGERBREAD HOUSE TIME

Nana and Papa (my parents) bought a gingerbread house for them and the boys to put together.

The boys just wanted to eat all the candy!!!

Isn't beautiful? As soon as it was together the boys started taking it apart and eating it. Everyday we would find one of the boys on top of the table pulling all the candy off the house and stuffing their face with it!
