Christmas Continued

After Jennifer left, it was on to Minnesota! We were finally going to get to meet our newest cousin and niece! 

Gotta love that direct flight from Austin to Minneapolis. It's a game changer with kids!

The first time we got to meet Emmy! No one was excited though. ;)

Christmas Eve meal!

Nolan was the official monitor of the monitor. 

"Oh look! LOOK! She moved that foot! That foot right there!" 

Getting ready for presents!

Ain't nobody ever sad about hippo socks. 

Cousin Time!

The whole Christmas crew!

And five full days of fighting over who was going to get to hold that baby next. 

This picture was taking right before she said her first words, "I love you Auntie Joy". No one was more surprised than myself. 

Come on, cuz! Just let me play!

Yummmm!

Emmy must have been napping... time for a puzzle break!

Em and Grandma

Getting allll the auntie love.

Turns out Eli is going through a big time Farkle phase. Who knew?

Who wore it best? Momo or Santa? Perhaps Momo Claus?

Date night with my man. Best present of the year!

Alexa told me I was looking very Minnesota Chic. It made my day. Ha!

Gingerbread house time!

Poor Beaux has been demoted. 

It was too cold to even play in the snow, but Nolan and Jon attempted one afternoon while the majority of us were at the new Spiderman movie.

Sledding down the front lawn

We got some tickets for Nickelodeon Universe at the Mall of America and had a great afternoon riding the rides. Seth and I even did the big major loop-y one. Ollie said no way. 

This is possibly the best picture ever of my kids. 

Frozen lake exploring

And that gets us to December 30th! I'm gonna get this ol blog caught up if it's the last thing I do!

Thanks to Eli and Alexa for hosting our crew, thanks to Momo, Mimi, Gma, and Auntie M for all the gifts and goodies! We had a great time.
