Christmas Break

We just got home from visiting family in Mountain Home for Christmas. It was a great week and we loved getting to spend so much time with family. Especially our family that was visiting from far away, like Aunt Laura and Uncle David and Aunt Michelle. 
We spent the week playing with our new Christmas toys, reading, watching movies and hanging out together. 
 
I love these pictures of Aunt Michelle with my kiddos. 
She's such a natural and I love watching them bond.


And Tanner worked hard to get in lots of face time with his Aunt Laura. They have such a cute little relationship. 
Tanner got so many Star Wars lego sets for Christmas. He spent many hours building lego ships and it was not uncommon to find him at the kitchen table, building away. 


We did manage to squeeze in a family photo session.
Unsurprisingly, it was a little difficult to get a good shot with so many young kids, but all in all, it went pretty great.
I love this goofy one!
Then some of just the grand kids with Nanny and Papa. 

I love these two so much!

The OG- I couldn't ask for better parents or siblings. 
And all the adults
Grandkids alone- Benson was not being cooperative. 
And I love this family shot of us. Seriously one of my favorite pictures we've had taken in a while. 

And I just love this man of mine. 

After family pictures, we went back home and Aunt Michelle and Uncle David made everyone the most amazing crepes. Michelle had a menu made and everyone got to pick their toppings. 

Oh and one day the girls got to go out (without kids) and enjoy some time together. We went to get some Greek food for lunch and then went to see "Little Women". It was such a great movie and a great day spent with all the Drake women!
 

After the girls got home, we ate dinner and then the boys went out to see the new Star Wars movie.
Tanner was so happy to be included and to get to hang out with all the adults.



The rest of the week was just more of the same- family time- including Tanner trying to wrestle with his Aunts. 
And Aunt Laura helped the kids write a play, which they performed for everyone. 



Taking their final bow
Aunt Laura is so great. The kids loved this play so much. It was super weird, but they had a great time performing it for everyone. 

We got home today and we are all feeling a little exhausted, but it was such a great break. 
We have to run Aunt Laura to the airport in the morning and we are going to miss her so much.
 So we are back in NWA now and planning a fun party for NYE. 
Stay tuned!
