Cross Country Christmas

On a whim, Steve and I decided, "hey- let's go to St. Louis for Christmas". So a few days later we loaded up the kids and made the 2 day journey half way across this great country of ours. Since it was such a last minute decision we also decided, "hey- let's not tell anyone we are coming and we can just show up on their doorsteps". So we did. It was a fun trip and we had a blast. The kids were so glad to be with their cousins again and when it was time to pack up the fun and head for home, there were shouts of protest. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from our trip.

Sierra gettin' the belly stomp

Aubrey and Emily gave Uncle Steve a good workout. He probably performed about 100 of these flips.

Austin, Heather, Sierra and Samantha

This pretty much sums up what the boys did the entire trip (the guns are not real, just in case you got all freaked out)

Samantha and Addy

Addy made a new friend
