As always, we had a wonderful trip to Nova Scotia!
We all flew up, Devry spent a week with us there, then he flew back to Wyoming, worked 2 weeks and came back to get us for the last week. It was great to be there so long and get to spend so much time with my family and friends! It was hard being away from Devry for Christmas and his birthday, but great to see my family. We spent the first two weeks with my dad, then the next two with my mom. Here is a recap of our trip with pictures!

As you can tell from the pictures, we have a busy and FUN trip!
I have more pictures to post, but they aren't on my computer yet.
Christmas was very bitter sweet this year. My Grampie (my mom's dad) passed away on the 22nd. He was very ill, but it is always hard. I was glad I was able to attend the funeral. I will miss my grampie so very much. He was one of my favorite people in the world. He made me laugh. I felt so special to him. He was a wonderful, kind, loving man and I am so grateful I have so many wonderful memories of him.
We enjoyed our trip, but we are happy to be home, and getting back into our routine. Traveling is great, but hard for kiddos! I don't think we will be going anywhere anytime real soon! I'm ready for a couple months of being home!

Traveling with kids is SO hard!! I've done dozens of times by myself without Nate and each time I tell myself, "I'm not doing that again" and each time I end up taking the boys to NJ by myself yet again. While I agree with a lot of people that it's easier to stay home, especially for the Holidays, I'd rather spend the extra work it takes to travel and be with extended family, then to stay home. It certainly makes the Holidays that much more special to be surrounded by family.
Thanks Chelsey and Devry for traveling so far to make our Christmas so memorable. It was the best gift ever!
