More of Maryland

The next day on Monday we went to visit Grandpop and Grandma Kris.  The girls, Uncle Andrew and Aunt Jen came over for a pizza dinner. It was nice to have the kids playing together for so long.

On Tuesday morning we woke up and acted like it was Christmas. The boys got helicopters, sports balls and each a skateboard.

After that we went to take the boys to Chuck E Cheeses.  In all my determination to do something holiday or winter related it was a bust.  All the ice rinks were not open for public skate and all the Zoo or National Harbor things were best at night and by night time I was completely exhausted with these kids.

My friend Kelley met me there and I got to meet her new baby boy Alejandro. Her daughter Selena above is the sweetest little girl.

I did not pick up my camera for a lot of other things on the trip.  We also saw Aunt Devon and the kids one more time at Chic-fil-a and on Tuesday night we went to Mr. Lee’s house, Kelley’s Dad.  He was like a second father to me growing up.  He had millions of Christmas lights up.  Him and his wife take two whole weeks off of work and seriously deck there house out.  I should of taken a picture of that because it is something the boys will probably never forget.  We saw my friend Shannon and her daughter Ava and we saw our friends Nikki and Jose along with their children.  I did a lot in my 3 day trip but am very thankful I did.  I saw a lot of people I had been meaning to see and just spent the holidays being with family like it is supposed to be.

The boys tuckered out with their new toys that night.

The next day Daddy came home from his trips to Florida and Virginia Beach.  Just in time for Christmas!
