Over the River and Through the Woods.......

Scavenger Hunt!

Found it!

We headed north on the 26th so we could have Christmas in Indiana!!  We stopped at Nana and Papa's for the first couple days.  The Henderson clan was there when we arrived and we got to spend some time with our cousins, aunts, Great Nana, and Don.  We don't get to see them very often and it was nice to spend some time together.  Great Nana loves a good scavenger hunt and sent the kids on one where they found a jeep waiting on them in the garage!  FUN!
We were SO excited when we woke up to it SNOWING outside the next morning!!!  YAY!!!!  Nana helped the kids make snow ice cream and then we got in a little outside playing time in the afternoon!  The snow drought that we're having this winter has us a bit frazzled and we were well overdue for a good one!  The snow didn't last long BUT we did get to play in it, make a snowman and snow angels, and have a snowball fight!
We were spoiled rotten and our car was already packed full BEFORE we even made it to Grandma's house!!
Next up was Grandma's for a couple days where the kids were, once again, bombarded with toys, toys, and MORE toys!!  The girls got their first IU cheerleading outfits and they are hysterical!!  Check out the two pictures of the kids in their IU outfits.  You may notice that Anna is only in one of them.  This might be because the girl doesn't stop moving for a second, and in all the other pictures we took, she was either absent or blurry because she moves at the speed of lightning!!
The next day we got to see the Townsend's new house (in one word......GORGEOUS!) where I'm quite sure the girls ran 27 miles in the few hours we were there!!  It warmed up and we even got in some playing time outside before the girls started to blow away.
We had a great time with family during those four days!!  The drive to and from Knoxville seems to get longer and LONGER, but getting to see all our family and spend time together makes it so worth it!!!
