This holiday season found the Popps heading north once again! This Christmas we decided to fly since Brett has just a few days off.
We got into MN and Conner was excited to see Nana and Pappy…then he saw all the snow and he could not wait until we got to Nana and Pappy’s house so he could put on his snow pants! The snow was the clear favorite activity of the season. Conner and Jackson wanted to help shovel every day, unfortunately for Pappy, shoveling for Conner meant taking the snow from the snow banks and putting it on the sidewalk. Every time Pappy shoveled snow off the sidewalk, Conner was right behind putting the snow back on! If the boys could have gone sledding everyday – they would have!
Cookie decorating was a BIG hit with the boys. The strangest thing was that all the cookies that Conner decorated seemed to be missing arms or legs and have small Conner sized finger swipes missing out of the frosting…
Christmas Eve dinner was a smaller family affair this year. Nana got both the boys the cutest red sweaters. Trying to get the two boys to sit together long enough for a photograph was almost impossible!
Christmas morning found the boys up and rearing to go at about 5:30…Emma and I were able to get them to stay upstairs so that they wouldn’t scare away Santa. When they hear Santa – they both rushed down the stairs and were excited to see the boxes and stuffed stockings. The favorite toys of the season was a train from mom and dad, a puzzle to share with Jackson from Nana and Pappy and a huge crayon can from Aunt Emma, Tony and Jackson.
After Christmas we had to say good-bye to daddy because he had to get back to Kansas to work. Conner and mommy got to stay a little longer and play! We all went to the Children’s Museum and the Zoo! At the Children’s museum Conner and Jackson ran around and did everything from water play to driving a bus.
We had such a wonderful time playing with Nana and Pappy and out buddy Jackson. We even got to share a room with Jackson. SO MUCH FUN!!
