"christmas #3"

we ran errands in the morning and then stopped by home to eat some lunch before going out for an afternoon outside. boxes from big pop and grandma just happened to arrive moments after we arrived home. a quick call to them found them at home and just hours from leaving for gainesville. we found the perfect window for celebrating christmas with them! the kids were pretty excited to not have to wait another week before opening their presents too...

so great to be able to facetime the gift opening with big pop and grandma (and cousin jude who was still visiting them and came in to watch). it was like christmas all over again and the kids named it "christmas #3" (thanksgiving 'christmas' with papa and nana, actual christmas with our family and now a virtual 'christmas' with big pop and grandma).

surprisingly, i was able to tear them away from their new gifts for a quick lunch and back into the car. love.
