Two days after Christmas we packed up the car and drove down to Kansas to celebrate with family. We are so lucky that the kids are good in the car. They're use to driving, both drive at least an hour a day for daycare (Turk drives 2!) so I think that's why they don't mind it. We got down there around lunch time and then the girls hit the nail salon. The next day we packed up a couple of cars and drove to Kansas City to see family.
We got to see my Grandparents, Aunt and cousins. Plus my cousin's new baby boy :) Turk was a little jealous when I was holding him. At one point he crawled up my lap and kept scooting over until I had no more room for Miles. Kids are funny!
My Grandparents got the kids a few gifts including some money for Nola to spend at Target- she once told my Grandpa that Target was her favorite store! We didn't stay long but it was the first time we were all together in a while.
It was a fun but very long day!
And this was Turk the next morning. So cute!
We had to wait to celebrate Christmas until John got into town, so Sara and I threw a LuLaRoe party! We got to meet a few people and share our love of clothes. Win win!
We all spent a lot of time together, which was great. We always have a good time laughing, playing games and....
My brother is the best bartender :)
After John got to town we were able to celebrate Christmas! Nola was ecstatic, she even wrapped up a couple of her toys to give to people. She's so thoughtful.
Jessica and John took Nola to see Moana in-between their 5ks.
They ran one on midnight on New Year's Eve. Robert and I kept them company at a bar near by unill they had to leave, then Kyle and Hannah joined us. Not a crazy way to ring in 2017, but it was fun!!
We continued our terrible selfie taking skills the next day at another 5k. Appropriately called The Hangover 5k. We ran one together on our family Reycation over the summer so we thought we'd do it again.
It was pretty much the same crew, I was technically John for the race.
We took a few pictures on the way to document my run. I think I'm funny. Really I just need an excuse to lay down every once and awhile.
I got stopped when I crossed the finish line because they could tell I wasn't John! The others bailed and left me all alone to possibly go to 5k jail! But it turned out ok, they just wanted to get my real name so the times could be accurate. In the end it was better for John, he didn't need a 45 minute 5k on his record....
It was such a fun time, like always! The kids love it and I love spending time with my family! We're all just pretty tired after a few fun filled days!!
