The weekend before Christmas, I went up to Ohio to celebrate Christmas at the annual Sanders/Buttermore sing a long. It's always a great time to catch up on all my cousins and extended family! Here are some pics of Tyler with my mom and sister.
Tyler loves looking out the window at the train that comes by down in the valley.
This is the same weekend that Virginia got the crazy blizzard conditions- so we missed out on that but here are some pictures of what the scene looked like.
This is our back porch and what you are looking at is the chair!Christmas was good. We had to wait and celebrate it until Jan 1st because Amber was visiting her dad but we did open presents from Santa on Christmas day. We couldn't let Tyler wait the whole week! He was so excited to put out the milk and cookies for Santa. This is the first Christmas that he fully understands Santa. Next year, I think we can start explaining the true meaning of Christmas!
New Year's Eve was pretty quiet. It was spent with a few friends house. Tyler made it all night long- I was ready for bed before him! We went up to DC on Jan 1st since we had to pick up Amber and thought that it would be quiet at the museums...we were wrong but we did make it to a few. Once we found parking, we went to the National Botanical Gardens where we heard there was an amazing train exhibit. If you don't know, TYLER LOVES TRAINS! So we went there and he was in awe the entire time! The set up was rally pretty cool. After that we went to the Air and Space Museum (Robert's favorite!) to waste some time before we headed to the airport.
Once we picked up Amber, we met a close friend of the family- JC Nix and had a huge dinner. After dinner, we headed home to finally have Christmas! This made for a very long night; we got home about 9:00 PMand opened presents until after 11:30 PM... we were exhausted!
Amber was lucky to get both Wicked tickets and sold out Taylor Swift tickets!
Hope your Christmas and New Year were wonderful and spent with the ones who care.
