On The Road Again!!

Christmas Eve followed suit with the prior two days. It was time to be "On The Road Again". This time, mom and dad were definitely fighting off colds that they both had started. Mom was first... :-P!

The trip to Ohio was made so that Jacob could spend Christmas Eve with his cousins and grandpa. Fortuantely, we didn't have to deal with any "weather" like we did for the last trip at Thanksgiving... It was nice late afternoon/evening. Gifts and pleasantries were exchanged.

After dinner, who would have thought that a part of "Twas The Night Before Christmas" could really become a reality with Sydney and Colton. Their dad, Jerry was the first to make a comment that there must be something wrong because we didn't here them. Colton received a Lego swamp boat. Colton's potentially future engineering sister was taking her time putting it together while Colton closely watched and took note on what his older sister was doing. Sydney was doing a great job and paying attention to detail. She wasn't able to get it done before we all had to leave and make the trek back home, but it definitely gave new meaning to "...not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse..." Yes, Santa did come the next morning to reward their great behavior :D!!
