Pennsylvania Christmas

We took the 7 hour trip to New Providence, PA on Christmas afternoon.  We wanted to avoid driving on Afton's birthday, so we left our house after opening Christmas gifts and letting the kids play for a while. We made excellent time and the girls were pretty excited about getting to g'ma and g'pas house.  Along the way, Drew lost his beloved doggy.  Fortunately, IKEA had no shortage of pups, and we got him a new one!!!!
We celebrated Christmas with Chad's family on the 27th.  The cousins all had a blast playing with each other and opening gifts.  We had a bright idea of trying to get a group picture.  It was kind of a FAIL since we had a very disagreeable 2 year old.  My camera lens is not allowing my camera to focus, so I was not able to take very many photos.  I am kind of bummed about that.  It seems I am getting less and less photos as the kids are getting older.  Maybe my resolution for the New Year should be to take more photos???

I also want to mention that the football Drew was so excited to receive, was chewed up about as fast as he opened it!!!  Thanks for the new Eagles football g'ma.  It doesn't seem to be as tempting to bite.  Also, Avery was more than excited to get those beads.  Sorry mom, you are going to be picking up beads off the floor until next Christmas!!! ha ha!!!
