I figure one week after Christmas is a great time to finally get my hiney in gear to post about Christmas, right
We had a great one this year. We went up to my parents in Washington and had a great time. The ride up there was a little hairy. A ten hour trip turned into FIFTEEN because of the roads and delays with accidents. Chase was an absolute champion. We were pretty glad to get there...to say the least. it was just a sisters Christmas this year, with the exception of little brother Clark. We filled out time with great traditions...gingerbread house making, a reading of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by my dad, movies, football, food-food-food, games, and days of literally not changing out of pjays. It was a great time. Chase burst into tears when he realized that we were actually serious about coming home on Sunday. He loves Grandma and Grandpa's house.
Chase has been asking Santa for a remote control speedboat for quite some time. Wno knows where he got the idea about such a toy, but he was delirious with excitement at the prostpect of getting one. He was thrilled to find one waiting for him by the piano on Christmas morning. It 's going to end up being a summer time activity, however. It's a short trip for that boat in the tub.
There were some perks and some downfalls about being the only kid there for Christmas. But one thing did not change. It doesn't matter how old you are, you wait your turn to open presents. Chase did a great job waiting...a tough thing for a kid on Christmas! Chase disappeared a few times durning the present opening festivities to eat a snack...a growing 5 year old still gets hungry, even on Christmas morning! Anywho...here are some picutres. Enjoy!

Chase was so much fun and fabulous! We really were lazy. I can't beleive we didn't cook the ham. It was fun and now we have to wait another year for Christmas. I wonder what this next year will bring.
15 hours? Yikes! So sorry! I would have been crazy....that trip is hard enough, let alone adding many, many more hours.
It sounds like you guys had a fun time! I'm sure it was nice for the "sistas" to spend some time together. FUN!
It really was good times. Thank you sooo much for the winter blocks. I made a believe craft that matches perfectly!! I love it. It was really good to see you. Chase is a cutie!
