Christmas in Kansas 2011- Part One

We left around lunchtime to catch our flight from Charlotte to Kansas City. It was a long trip. The kids did pretty well. Nora was the biggest challenge of the trip, but I was expecting it, so it wasn't a surprise. She did sleep some and when she wasn't sleeping, she was either screaming or eating...I had tons of snacks prepared so I never felt out of my league. 

Our first day there we went to our very much missed Monday morning playdate with Davis and Isla (and little Ezra). It was really good to see some of our old friends and see how much the kids have grown. It is hard to believe that they are all 3 now and have siblings (Davis joined the sibling group yesterday!)


Best pic we could get of these three

Love the sweetness of this!


In awe of the tree!

Nora loved these sweet little elf dolls 

On Tuesday, we went to visit Seth at work and headed over to Bass Pro Shop to look around and play. Aidan had gone with my mom to Bass Pro on a few different occasions, but I had never been. They had a neat section set up for the kids and Santa was there (we don't really do the Santa thing, but we aren't anti all things Santa either) so we got a pic with the kids.


Aidan was having a blast "driving" the boats

We got an official Bass Pro picture that was better, but I love
the concerned look on Nora's face. She was good at first and
 then started to get upset.


One of my favorite moments was when Aidan said directly to Santa, "Nora doesn't understand." He wanted to make sure that Santa knew that Nora was too little to know about him. It was pretty cute. Also, I loved how he also told one of Seth's coworkers earlier in the morning that he was getting a "big boy bike, a motorcycle, and a tuba for Christmas." :)


The kids and Mimi

Watch out!

The kids had a great time and we ended our outing with a trip to Chick-fil-a (who would have guessed?).
