We packed up and headed to Oklahoma this year for Christmas 2 days after moving into the new house to spend time with the Orbison side of the family. Our family has gotten too big to all meet together at someone's house, so this year we decided to start a new tradition and we rented a lodge where we could all stay. It was great! The lodge was beautiful, the weather was great, and we had a wonderful time catching up with family. The owners of the lodge even had it decorated for the holidays which made it even more festive:)
I have lots of pictures to share, but will have to do it over several posts. We were there from Saturday until Wednesday the week of Christmas, and then headed home to spend Christmas Eve and Day in our own homes. It worked out great! We were able to play lots of games, eat yummy food, and spend time around the fire. The cousins had a ball playing together and Tyson loved running around with the big kids. He hasn't stopped talking about the "cousins" since we left! Jace got plenty of loving from all family members and was spoiled in general. He didn't sleep very well in his pack n' play unfortunately for us, but has been very happy to be back in his own crib at home:)
The cousins made Santa sacks and they were filled with stocking stuffers. It was a fun craft and the kids loved their gifts:)
I loved this picture of Tyson walking with his cousin Danny. It is so sweet to watch my kids with their extended family, and to see how easily they get along and love each other, even though we don't see them nearly enough during the year. Our kids are the youngest of all the cousins and the other kids are so sweet and protective of them. We really enjoyed our time together for Christmas and look forward to making this a tradition for years to come:)
