Another fun-filled Christmas trip back east! We had a wonderful time celebrating first in California, a little bit early:
Then it was off to Maryland and Philadelphia. The kids had a blast playing with their cousins Logan, Nathan, and Nicholas and of course being spoiled by their grandparents, aunts and uncles.
Anna's big gift this year was a new American Girl doll, Maryellen, from the 1950s. She received several Maryellen outfits and a school set to play with, as well as some books. Other favorite gifts included My Little Ponies, a watch, and a Disney video game.
Colin's favorites included a big Playmobil Coast Guard set, Hungry Hungry Hippos, a Bruder crane truck, Start Wars legos, and an Alvin and the Chipmunks CD.
We had lots of adventures on our travels. We went to see light shows in downtown Philadelphia and took a train with Santa in New Hope, PA with Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop.
Grandma Jean took the kids to all the best playgrounds and for a wonderful winter walk.
Aunt Laura gave us a wonderful tour of D.C.
Uncle Ken gave the kids rock climbing lessons!
We had so much fun spending time with family and are so grateful for everyone for opening their homes to us, feeding us, and giving gifts to our children. We felt so loved.
Happy New Year!! Click below to see more pics!
