Christmas with Pops and Kiki

After we woke up Christmas morning, we bundled up and loaded the car and set out for Pops and Kiki's house. What should have been a 20 minute drive took almost an hour. This is the road leading to their house - it was beautiful!
There is a big hill, though, right before you get to their driveway and our van just couldn't make it up the solid ice. We tried twice, and the second time we ended up on the side of the road. So we called Dad and just unloaded Kendall and walked up to the house. We decided we would just let the ice melt and then we would come back and get the van. It took several hours before the temperatures rose enough past freezing to be able to melt the ice! Scott, Dad, and Randy finally went down there right before we needed to leave and pulled it out.
Kendall walked up to the house with her Pops. It was so cold!

Due to all the traveling and late nights we had that week, she had a bit of a melt down mid-morning. So we tried putting her down for an early nap. She slept for 3 hours! She was pretty groggy when we finally went and woke her up so she could spend time with Kiki and Pops and open presents.

One of her presents was a Sit-n-Spin. She was still waking up and wasn't too interested in trying it out yet, so her Aunt Megg showed her how it was done. :) Since we've been home she has really figured it out and played on it some!

And our family. Finally, a decent picture!


Thanks, Aunt Auggie for taking such great pictures! Our camera was in our van down the street all morning!
