On the 18th of December the kids and I headed for Michigan to visit Grandpa and Grandma...and the rest of the family too :)
The kids played for a while in the play area at the airport. Whoever thought to put these in an airport was a genius. They played until we had to board the plane. We got very lucky-we had paid for 2 seats, because Leah was going to sit on my lap, but the lady that checked us in put us in a 3-seat row and blocked the middle seat so no one else could sit there...so we had 3 seats. It was a huge blessing. Leah is a little...well...mobile. She doesn't like to sit still. Ever. So having the extra room was nice. When we got on the plane the kids ate their lunch, and Leah took a 45 minute nap, so they were occupied for most of the trip. The last 45 minutes Leah got a bit antsy, but overall she did really good. We arrived, met up with mom and dad, strapped the kids in car seats and headed for home...via Tim Horton's, of course :)
We got there and the kids got right in to all of grandma and grandpa's toys. It's always fun to play with new stuff :)
Parker came over to play. He's SO cute! He and Leah are pretty cute together
Not sure why Leah is laughing and Parker is crying...but I'm pretty sure it's Leah's fault.

Not sure why Leah is laughing and Parker is crying...but I'm pretty sure it's Leah's fault. Within 24 hours Leah had already broken something, and nearly broken several things. She's into EVERYTHING! She's so quick too...and when she gets a hold of things she's not suppose to have she runs away, and then throws it right before you catch her...apparently she's trying to dispose of the evidence. She does it all with a smile on her face, so it's hard to be mad at her...
Eli had fun playing with Aunt Randee's iPhone. He was giggling so hard. I took a video, but it was 65,000 kb...way to big to upload to blogger...so if you want to see the video you'll have to come and visit us ;) That boy likes technology...
I have gotten the Play Doh out a couple of times. One day I had it out and Eli played with it for 3 hours. I'm not kidding. I did form all 26 letters out of Play doh so that was what he was playing with. He is completely obsessed with letters.
I looked up from what I was doing at one point and he was playing with this little knife thing...and no, I did not take it away from him. He was playing so good...and it wasn't that sharp...
We've watched some tv too :) Parker and Leah fit quite nicely in Grandpa's chair.
One of Leah's current obsessions is trying on other people's shoes. She had Grandpa's cowboy boots on at one point. She thinks she's pretty funny...and she's right :)
Saturday night we went with mom and dad to their Christmas eve service. It was very nice. We also went to the Christmas morning service-Eli's all dressed up for that :) (Leah was in a super cute dress too, but I failed to take pictures of her...I'll have to put her back in her dress...) The Christmas morning service was very nice too. They didn't have nursery, though, so I had to take the kids out for a while. I talked to some other parents that were doing the same thing, though, and had a nice time.

We had kind of a laid back week...MUCH more relaxing than before we left :) It's amazing how much you can relax when you're not at your own house with a million things staring in your face to get done...And it was so nice to just hang out with mom and dad in the evenings.
