Christmas Break Trip #1- Day 3 and 4 (Minneapolis)

Monday, Day 3:

Time to leave Iowa and head north to Minneapolis. Reid would have preferred more time in Marita's arms:

Hugs:

Colder travels on Day 3. The boys stayed bundled up in Grandma's blankets:

Lunch at Hardee's in Clear Lake, IA:

Hello, Minnesota!

In the mean time, Eric was flying his sleigh to Salt Lake City:

I completed another crafty project. I made this for Kelsey for Christmas:

David's ski area- Buck Hill:

Reid kept talking about finding bubbles. I think there must be a game on the Leap Pad that had them, but I couldn't find them. Luckily, when he asked Kelsey about bubbles, she was able to deliver!

Hi, Eva Claus!

Cousin time:

Rides in the basement with Uncle David:

Technology time with David:

And Kelsey's brother, Tyler:

Tyler did a great job entertaining the boys:

Where's Eric? He ended up over-nighting in Dallas on Christmas Eve:

Reid took a liking to Eva's helmet and wore it during most of the morning:

Aiden liked Eva's new car and Tyler's baseball cap:

Naptime:

Aiden was quite the crazy maracas player:

The triangle was more Joe Cool's style:

I love Reid's sly grin:

Merry Christmas, Daddy!

Christmas morning. I managed to keep the boys occupied upstairs long enough to finish Eva's bear.
Cars:

Angry Birds:

Stitching time:

Eva seemed to love getting her hands on someone's iPhone as much as Reid;

Handing out presents:

Daddy/Daughter:

Cheese!

I think she liked it:

I asked Reid to hold up the wrapping decoration and he literally held it up as high as possible:
