Christmas Trip

We went to Groves for a few days to celebrate Christmas with Pawpaw and Manah. We had a wonderful time!

Stephen insisted on opening gifts about 5 minutes after we arrived (gotta work on the true meaning of Christmas with that one!)

We also spent some time and had a little gift opening with Karen and boys, but somehow I missed photos of that!
Our little explorer enjoying her new grounds...

 It was either super cold or pouring rain almost the whole time we were there, so this is where the big kids spent a lot of time...hanging out in Manah's room with videos and the exercise bike!

Pawpaw and Manah also graciously watched the younger three so that Austin, myself and the oldest two girls could go see The Hobbit. We really enjoyed it, and our sitters were very noble and appreciated since we discovered that the baby was feverish when we returned from the 3 hour movie! Poor baby....and poor Manah!
