Ultimately Kellen was terrified of the sledding and grew weary of the snow quickly! Riley was actually terrified as well but he wanted to keep trying….as long as he was already at the very bottom of the hill. Finn had the most FUN of it with Holli and Joseph!
I love Riley cheering Finn on!
SNOW!!!!
We got in on Friday and decided to celebrate Christmas on Saturday morning. The boys put on their Christmas Jammies and Grandma read Kellen his bedtime stories!
The next morning we tried to put the elf costume on Kellen. It didn’t last long….He really doesn’t like this thing! :(
And then there was the “trying to get a picture of all the cousins together by the tree” event. Mine mostly came out blury, hoping Steph was able to get one!
PRESENTS!!!
Kellen’s new cup and hat!
Turns out things got chaotic (imagine that!) during presents because that is the only picture we have, lol!
Next we moved outdoors for sledding!!! We were completely ill equipped for snow. I had NO IDEA there was snow. The boys had their coats and I did bring their rain boots and thankfully Steph had some extra snow pants and boots and we just pieced things together for the grown ups from grandma’s stash!
At the end Finn had a mishap with a bush….I think my boys are going for the “chicks dig scars” approach to life.
I’ll post the sledding videos in a separate post.
Kellen played hide & seek…Where, oh where, could he be???
And then we went to feed some sheep!
And went to a live nativity!
It was another absolutely wonderful and lovely holiday spent together!!!
We have officially said good-bye to our Elf, Mac. But here is the last update of his shenanigans!
Flying Trapeze
Mini Elf Donuts and a note wishing us well for our journey to Indiana, also explaining he would be waiting for us when we got home!
And when we got home he left us a good-bye letter and some Magic Reindeer Food!
Bye Mac! See you next year!
We have had the Southeastern Railway Museum on our to-do list for 2 years now and recently bought a sweet jack deal for a family membership. We had to cash in on the deal by the 30th of December and just barely made it in time. Daddy took Finn and Riley while I stayed home with a sick baby Kellen. They also met up with our friends Alec, Aerin and Mr Mike!
