Christmas in Topeka

We drove up for the day, to celebrate our family Christmas with Ben's family.

It was windy outside, but otherwise nice, so we spent some time outdoors for a bit.

We had a lady take family pictures..

a slightly amusing story in regards to this...

Ben and I set everything that we wanted to take the night before and then planned on leaving right when Christian woke up and just change him once we got there. Fine. We pull in to the driveway around 11, and empty the car. I asked Ben to grab the green bag with Christian's clothes. Fine. "Where did you put it?" "I didn't put it in the car, you did, remember? It was sitting on the couch, and you grabbed it." Hmm..not fine. Grandpa and Grandma H. were greeted briefly, and we dropped Christian off..and we went to Target to buy a whole new outfit for him. Not a huge deal..just silly how when we got home,  the green bag awaited us all nice and prepared

playing with Uncle Sam

Oh boy..he got a fire truck, with a dalmation, and a recycling dump truck. 

He was pretty excited.

And I know once we start using the easel to draw on...he will have much more to say about that!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
