Surprises

We surprised my family back in West Virginia this Christmas. We got up on Christmas morning and did Christmas here with our own little family then we packed up the kids and drove to the airport. They didn't know where we were going. When we got to the airport Garrett said, "Are we at the airport?" Then he yells very excitedly and says, "Yeah, we are going to Grandma Doolittles." We flew into to Raliegh Durham and then rented a van and drove in to West Virginia which is about 4 hours from the airport. I wish I would have gotten pictures of people's faces when we showed up. I thought my mom was going to have a heart attack. It was so much fun to go. We went to Charleston and for the annual Doolittle Celebration. Then we spent the rest of the time just hanging out and playing with the cousins. We had a great time.

We got up at 1 am this morning to drive back to the airport to catch our flight back home. Boy are we tired!

Devin wasn't quite sure what to think about all the people but if you were feeding him he loved you.

While there the kids loved playing in the woods.
We had a cousin sleepover and they just loved it.

Olivia was showing her Aunt Emily and Grandma what a good big sister she is.

Thanks Emily for all the photos.

Glad you made it back safely and it looks likes you had a great time! I'm glad the surprise worked out so well and that you didn't spend your trip sitting in an airport.
