December Daily 21

On the 21st day we took a "little" trip to my grandparent's {Nannie & Papa's} house in Hannibal, MO, which means another 4 hour trip for us {I think everything is 4 hours from us!}.  The drive was worth it to see family and really my kids are wonderful car riders these days and do super on an 8 eight round trip during one day...they have to be, they have grown up with many a car trips!  Seriously, DVDs and iPads are the secrets here...we do not withhold at all...it makes the kids happy & the parents!  Something new that we have also started enjoying in the car are read aloud books on CD.  We are still working our way through Laura Ingalls Wilder books, since this summer {we are currently on By the Shores of Silver Lake}.  We listened to part of the book the entire trip home...everyone enjoys these books & it makes the trip go by super fast!

At Nannie & Papa's house...cousin time!  They started a game of Monopoly {I wonder whose idea that was ;)}...but I don't think they ever finished because eating & presents started.

All the next generation of kiddos!

Of course the favorite time...presents!

And the quick trip was already over...back home.

Elfy enjoyed the trip with us yesterday too...hanging out on the mirror.
