Thanksgiving and Christmas in MN!

On Friday morning, we headed to Burnsville, MN to celebrate Thanksgiving and an early Christmas with the Hughsons!  After some fun at Aunt Jen's house, we headed to our hotel Friday night so the kids could swim.  They all had a blast!


After two days with no naps, a five hour car trip, playing at Aunt Jen's house, and swimming, we didn't have to work too hard to get the boys to fall asleep on Friday night!!!  (Unfortuantely, they did not stay asleep... 4:30 am is just way too early to be up for the day, especially in a hotel room!)

We headed back over to the Hughson's on Saturday morning and the boys were pleasantly surprised that they had some Christmas presents to open!




After presents, we had dinner and took some family pictures!




After a very fun day, we got back in the van to travel home on Saturday evening.  We weren't even out of town yet before Conner was asleep, still clutching his new Christmas plate, courtesy of Aunt Jen!

We had an awesome celebration!   Thanks Hughsons for the great weekend!  We are really ready for Christmas now!!!
