We had a short layover in Seattle but the girls found a fun way to pass the time. Avrey & Quynn just love the play center in the SEATAC airport.
Avrey also got her photo with Santa and one of his busy elves just before we boarded the plane to Edmonton!
When we arrived in Canada we were very surprised... there was NO SNOW!
BUT we were super happy to see all the smiling faces of our cousins, uncles, aunts, and of course, grandma & grandpa!
In the photo above (left to right): Jena, Quynn (on grandpa's knee), Harper & Levi (on grandma's knee), Maggie (the tall one), and Keeleigh. Up front: Jesse (in the red chair) and Avrey.Grandma was able to find matching red, white, and black outfits for all the grandkids - just too cute!
On Christmas morning we opened up gifts.
Avrey was ecstatic that she got a new barbie with fairy wings.
Quynn immediately started playing with her new picnic basket.On Boxing Day (December 26th) the greatest gift of the holiday season arrived... a new baby cousin named Briggs Robert. Now there are three grandsons and six granddaughters for grandma and grandpa to love!
We visited Briggs and his mommy and daddy in the hospital only hours after he made his big arrival. He smelled so wonderful and felt so soft.
His mommy and daddy were very happy!
Pretty soon though, it was time to go back to grandma & grandpa's house.The girls put on their new pajamas grandma bought them for Christmas.
On the last day of our visit we all went skating.
We got bundled up and had a blast!
Uncle Ben bought special skates for Avrey at Canadian Tire so she could use them and still keep her warm boots on.
It was sure fun spending time with our crazy cousins.
We had such a wonderful visit and can't wait to go back this summer!
