Christmas in Virginia


Our original plans for Christmas changed a bit last minute because a big snow storm was supposed to be coming through the midwest.  I was supposed to work Christmas Eve from 7pm-7am.  We were going to open presents when I got home in the morning, then I was on call from 7pn-11pm and we were going to leave in the morning of the 26th for Indiana to spend time with Benny's family.  Instead, we quickly opened presents on Christmas Eve, we finished packing, I worked from 11pm-1:45am, we left at 9:45am on Christmas Day and arrived in Lafayette at 10:45pm.  We were SO thankful for two of my wonderful coworkers who volunteered to cover my shifts so that we could leave early, and watched the snow fall ALL day on the 26th.

Reading the Christmas Story from Andrew's Bible before we opened presents.

Reading his new "flap books" from Grandma and Grandpa.  




We decided that opening presents for Andrew could have taken all day...he was so excited about each gift that we had to pull him away from one to make him open another!
