We ventured down south this weekend. We have been going to Highland every February to celebrate Christmas with my husband's family since December is always so busy.
But this trip was a litltle different. This winter has been anything but great weather-wise. We left Friday after school and our Valentine's parties. We didnt' have any new snow although you wouldn't know it by looking at the ground but the roads were clear....or so we thought. We were a few miles outside of Bloomington when we noticed the snow first blowing over the road. Then the right lane was half covered by snow and ice. We decided that it was dark, it was sucky driving conditions, and we had the kids so we did the safe thing and got a hotel room for the night. We stopped at the first hotel we came too and the only room left was a king size suite thanks to the high school state wrestling tournament in town. The kids didn't mind though.
We ordered pizza and the movie "Frozen" and had fun. The next morning we set off again. This time the roads were much better.
We got to Uncle Frog's house just in time to have Christmas.
Bub got a new Mickey shirt all the way from Disney!
Evie got a talking Sophia!
And Gracie got a Rapunzel shirt from Disney!
It wasn't long before everyone came over. Evie and Peyton became great friends right away and played all night together.
Gracie and Sydney had fun making some bracelets.
Papa was there too and we made sure to get some pics with him. Grandma Vicki was sick.
And here they are with their one and only cousin....Jordin! She just turned 17! Hard to believe she was our little flower girl 10 years ago.
This is Uncle Chad and he is Jordin's dad.
Chuck and all his bros.
All of us!
The next day we headed out to lunch. The kids had fun eating at their table. Drake and Maddie were even able to join us this time!
And special thanks to Uncle Frog and Aunt Christie for letting us crash at their new beautiful pad!
Next time we hope to stay longer! But we had fun anyways!
