Our trip to Texas was a wonderful get away! Twelve hours total in the car and no crying or whining thanks to the portable DVD players the kids got for Christmas from Nana :-)! We all had an absolute blast spending Christmas with the Judson family. We spent a lot of time just letting the kids play with Gavin at the house (he and Eli are best buddies) but we also went to Bonkers play place, went on a real train ride mimicking the Polar Express book/movie (they even had a snow machine making it snow over our heads as we got on the train), went out to eat, exchanged presents, played games, and enjoyed a white Christmas. All the kids did wonderfully! We haven't really done a big trip since Asher was born with the whole family, so it was a pleasant surprise to realize how easy it is getting now that the kids are older. Most everybody hadn't seen Asher since he was a newborn, and two of Brandon's brothers had never met him or seen the other kids in a year, so it was a joy for everyone to get to know them better. It was just the vacation we all needed and it felt so refreshing to get away for a week and celebrate the birth of Jesus with our family.
