We went up north for Christmas. We took an entire two weeks and made the most of it. Our first stop was Virginia to visit Mimi and Papaw.
Mimi attempted to make a Gingerbread house with the kids
They failed miserably. This was the final product.
The boys helped Mimi in the garden
Mimi and Papaw were prepared for our visit
So was I
Papaw took the boys to shoot guns and ride the ATV. They were in heaven.
Mimi's garden
The smoking men
In DC at the Botanical Gardens. Grady's hair was stuck in the thorns.....
A garden Gnome
We went to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens
These guys are huge fans
Uncle Will taught the boys how to play the didgeridoo
Josh took the boys to NASA. His friend from high school works there and gave them a grand tour.
They picked up some space ice cream
The boys made us a "fruit salad" (with dried kiwi and carrots)
It was pretty grey outside but we played in the garden
Emma gave her cat some "love"
Em helped Mimi in the garden
We went to the National Zoo in DC
And of course....there was Christmas morning. The traditional giant stockings were filled
This was my favorite present. Myles designed earrings for me, sent a drawing to Aunt Duffy, she made them and I received them for Christmas. What an amazing gift.
This man loves a three piece suit and weapons
Mimi made an apple pie and then promptly poured eggs all over it. Par for the course.....
Merry Christmas!!!
Emma and one of her favorite people, Papaw
