Buffalo, Christmas Day

After a very long night for all of us sleeping in the attic (thanks to a sugared-up Dan), we woke up to tons of presents under the Christmas tree! Santa must have heard that Daniel was a very good boy this year because he got lots of great stuff. It's a good thing that we had our car in Buffalo so we could take everything back with us!






When the presents were open (and the monkey bread consumed), it was time to follow the Missouri Rashmans to the airport. They dropped off their rental car and we brought back the car seats that they had been using. It was great to see them and we're looking forward to the kids being a little bit older because they will have a blast together!

After the airport, Zach, Tom, Daniel, and I headed over to Joan's house for Christmas brunch. Joan was married to Zach's maternal grandfather and is his only living grandparent. She always hosts Christmas morning and puts on quite a spread, with the highlight being delicious smoked salmon. Yummy! We opened a few more presents before we had to cut out early to get started on our long drive south.

Seriously, who keeps giving this kid a cookie?

Dan and Davis look awfully suspicious in that first picture. . .in fact, Dan looks a little suspicious in all of the pictures. Like he's already fallen for one too many trick! Maybe the cookies are his pity present. In that case, smart man Dan!

I love your blog - the next step of the journey includes flu like symtoms I think.
