This Christmas had to be one of the funnest I have had. My mother in law and sister in law are night nurses at University of Maryland. It was their holiday to work, so we decided that we would have Christmas on Wednesday.
For a suprise, we decided that we would take the kids to Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg, VA. ( We had gone there a month before Jake was born and the kids really liked it. ) We slipped a few times, but the kids didn't catch on. We were even lucky enough to have Mom Mom invite the girls over for a sleepover on Saturday night, so I could pack so the girls wouldn't realize what was up. When we got to GWL we turned in and said Merry Christmas. It took the girls 30 seconds, then Madi let out a scream then Rachel followed. The girls both kept saying "thank you for the Christmas Present!"
Madison was able to go on the body slides by herself this time. She LOVED it! Both the girls had fun going on the family raft slide. Scott had fun going on the Tornado ride. It was really fun! Jake loved going on the baby slide by HIMSELF....
When he wasn't on the slide, he kept saying B Ball B Ball B Ball. He loves basketball!
Overall it was fun. During the evening storytime, they had a part where it "snowed" in the lobby of the lodge. I feel silly, but for a second, I found myself tearing up! It was really neat to see all the kids (and adults) getting excited to see these bubbly foam coming from the rafters!
Then today, we got to have Christmas with the family! I always enjoy family time. I am so greatful that I married such a great family. Since I cannot be around my own family, its great that I have such caring and fun inlaws! We even had a twister tournament! Such a fun day!
The only thing that I am not looking forward to is the clean up! My in laws were very generous to the kids... and us too! I am not looking forward to putting everything away....oh well, whats a few more days!
Merry Christmas to all...I hope you had a great Christmas!
