James turned 10 years old on December 25th! We surprised him the morning of the 24th with a gift and a cake... The gift? A Razor (scooter)...
While we went to our Christmas Eve service, "Santa Claus", made a quick drop at our house... (Thanks to Amy & Kelly!) When we returned the kids were hilarious...
While the girls immediately began exploring their doll house, James decided to roll around in his new soccer goal...
Victoria was so excited about her umbrella...
Papaw wrapped up a Red Ryder BB gun for James... Praying he doesn't "shoot his eye out"... :) He was beyond excited...
Christmas morning we loaded up in our van, drove to our friends' house in New Orleans - Page & Ashley Brooks. After a few minutes of fellowship, Page graciously drove us to the airport to catch our 10:45 AM flight to BWI airport. My dad greeted us at the airport with a silly santa hat. After the kids tackled him in excitement, we loaded up and drove down to Stafford, VA through dense fog (couldn't even see the capital or monuments as we made our way through DC!), light rain and snow on the ground... We made it to my parents in time for Christmas dinner... What a blessing to fly direct and be home for Christmas AND a white Christmas at that!
