A little vacation update

We arrived in Charlotte on Saturday morning around 7:30am. We left IL at 7 Friday night. Luis and I stayed up until about midnight together and then switched off driving for about 2 hours each. Jake was out of it the whole car ride, slept wonderfully, and only woke up when we got gas and fell right back to sleep. Jackson was uncomfortable... his car seat doesn't recline like Jake's. He was awake until almost 11. Both boys were so well behaved. No complaining. Thankful for portable dvd players! Since we got here it's been non-stop fun for our kiddos! Lots of people to entertain them! There was a lot of excitement for Christmas... especially Jackson. I think this is the first year it has actually made sense to him. On Christmas eve we opened some board games and the boys opened brand new quillows (quilt/pillow) from Grandma Weger so they could og to bed with them. We read the Christmas story from the book of mormon and then on Christmas day we read the story from the bible. It was great. Liz and Alan had a couple come over with their baby girl to play games with us on Christmas eve. The boys were so excited to see what Santa brought them! We had to keep them distracted in our room until everyone got downstairs to see the boys come down. So they just tackled daddy while they waited! I have a lot of video of Christmas morning... those will come at some point. Not too many pics, because I wanted the video. Here are some pics of Christmas eve and a few random ones!

Jackson finally found a comfortable spot in the car!

Pecan logs are a Weger tradition. I don't like them. They are cherry nougat covered with pecans. :P For the past few years no one has been able to find them... a dying tradition! So we ordered some online and surprised everyone.

The spoils... Luis and my piles!!! Jax and Jake got spoiled too! And we are going to have a mini Christmas once we get to Mom and Dave's!!!

And this is my lighter... getting slowly closer to blonde hair! I always like blonde highlights on other people but it scares me on my own hair!
