Both Christmas celebrations were amazing! It is always awesome to get home to NS ... and of course chaotic in the best way possible.
Traveling with 2 kids - one a toddler and the other an active 5 month old - is like driving in the rain. you can't take your eyes off the action for one minute - if you do, you will likely regret it :) The girls did pretty well on the flights - it is a long day of travel, about 12 hours door-to-door! We had to run to make our flight in Chicago both ways to make it even more interesting!
But we made it! Both ways! and in one piece :) It was so great to be home in NS - my brother and sister got to meet Maya for the first time and of course everyone enjoyed seeing Emily again. Oh and us too (yeah, yeah ... we know we are just vehicles for the kids :))As always the visit to the farm was packed with family, love, laughter, chaos, and memories.
A few of my favorites memories of the holidays:
Taking Emily ice-skating for her first time. So much fun!
Hand and feet printing of miss Maya
Emily's excitement when she met "the real" santa - she would not let him leave without drinking his milk and eating his cookies :)
Family laughter, singing, and time together
Gingerbread house decorations
Family Dinners
Walks around the farm
