Columbia Christmas

As stated in our December family update blog post, Jimmy had a rough schedule after Christmas so the kids and I went down to Columbia, SC to visit my family for five days.  My brother was in town from Los Angeles, CA and my aunt Cindy was able to come down for a day.  Uncle Linton was in Kansas with his family, so we didn't get to see him this Christmas, but we'll see him soon!

Grace woke up the morning after Christmas asking, "Are we going to COLUMBIA yet???" Finally I could answer YES.


I had to strap Wesley into his booster seat so he would sit still for 5 seconds haha!  Memere helped him open presents.





Pepere holding up Grace's new Frozen towel.  That girl loves Frozen!

Uncle Jordan learned how to play "Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?" from the movie Frozen JUST for Grace.  She listened to him play it, sang along, and then wanted to help.  She adores him!

We went to the Riverbanks Zoo one evening.  They have a big Lights at the Zoo thing going on the month of December and it's awesome!!

Memere and Wesley
Wesley just hung out in the stroller the whole time...it was great!  He was content just looking around the whole time.  We may not get away with that next year...

They have a s'mores station

Snow!  Okay, it's Columbia so let's be real...it was foam soap spraying out.



Uncle Jordan's last night in town and he read Grace a book before bed time. 

We had a great time!  We went several places, shopped some, went to church, had lunch with the Greens, and the kids and I even got to visit with Beth Banco (baby Harrison will be here SO soon) before leaving town.  Thanks Memere and Pepere for having us and spoiling us!  Thanks Uncle Jordan for loving Grace and Wesley so well.  Thanks uncle Linton, aunt Cindy, and uncle Robin for the gifts!
