Christmas Trip

We decided to make a driving trip to Ohio for Christmas. That way we could see my mom & dad and my extended relatives. It was a long drive, but well worth it.

We visited my mom’s mom first. We had a a nice visiting time and meal at my uncle Karl’s house. He has a great basement room that he built, complete with pool table, ping pong table, and foosball table.

This is my cousin, Cody, with the kids.

I just love family reading to the kids!

For the second half of the trip, we went to see my dad’s dad. Jon had to fly home to head back to work before we made this part of the trip.

I didn’t manage to get pictures of everyone—sorry! The kids keep me so busy I forget to take pictures!

I made the long drive back home with the kids. We were definitely glad to pull into Granddad’s house after such a long drive!
