Christmas 2011: Part Two

On Tuesday we drove to Vernon to celebrate with my side of the family.  Aunt Nancy, Uncle Kerbow, and Jonathan came for the day on Wednesday, and we opened presents and enjoyed another Christmas dinner.

Afterwards we took Claire to the high school to show off her bike riding skills.  There is a sidewalk that goes all around the top of the football stadium, and she really motored around the entire thing.  The rest of us had trouble keeping up.

Thursday we headed back home, and we had the easiest trip ever.  Seriously - it could not have gone any smoother.  For six hours, we had minimal tears, only pulled over a couple of times for Claire to use her travel potty and another time to go through the Whataburger drive through, got naps from both kids, and I actually read the entire January book for Book Club on my new Kindle.  It was truly a Christmas miracle.  :)
