Christmas #2 and #3 (Missouri)

On December 23, we drove the 4.5 hours to SLC, paid for an unused night at Baymont Inn, left our car in their lot and took the shuttle to the airport.  We managed to score a direct flight (nice!) to KC, and arrived to be greeted by Robert.  We had supper and stopped at the store to get some things for Charley for the week, then headed to his house.

Charley's an old pro at this by now!

Finally - at Grandpa's!

And more at Grandma's!

She got me this cool piano toy

Christmas Eve - just a preview 

Nose!

Christmas Day has arrived!

Wow, look at all these COOL gifts!!!

A BABY!  Thanks Grandma!

And more yet at Grandpa's...  so much for not getting spoiled!

Hey Harry Dog!

And Pat and Sarah got her some cool gifts - we opened them  together at Jose Peppers.

STAIRS!  My new favorite thing!  (And what mom spent much of her vacation doing...)

We went to visit our friend Jen - she had 2 huge dogs, a friendly cat, and some goats!

Grandpa took us to Squaw Creek one day to look at thousands of Snow Geese

I spent most of the time down here

Hilarious!  I can't believe Mom and Dad are allowing this!
