Wild and Wonderful Christmas

We're baaaack. Sorry for the hiatus, but I made it my personal goal to put all of my Christmas decorations away before I blogged about our Holiday. Guess who just put their decorations away tonight?

You are so smart!

For Christmas we three were able to travel home to West By- God Virginia to visit our families. We split our time between the Taylor Homestead and Webster Hollow, and Austin was alloted a ridiculous amount of attention and rule bending at each place. I am pretty sure he is in some type of withdrawal from all of the Gramie and Nana kisses. Christmas was fantastic, and being with our families was SO nice. I even had a full 24 hours to myself! I stayed at mom and dad's while Chris and Austin stayed at his parents place. I'm beginning to think that people who live in the same town as their parents have it MADE...

Below are some pictures to highlight some of our time home.

Christmas Eve at my parent's house. Austin got a really cool tent, and thoroughly enjoyed standing on the box. Typical.

Austin LOVES all cars. Especially big ones that make noise. Blame that on his WV heritage.

Mommy and Austin checking out a new book from Gramie and Grandpa.

Christmas morning at the Taylor's. And Austin's newest hat.

We bought Chris' dad some naked lady golf tees

(from the movie Caddyshack).

Austin kept hugging them. It was so sweet, maybe a bit inappropriate, and absolutely hilarious.

Driving his Little People tractor. At this point he was probably thinking that if I asked him one more time "what does a cow say?" he would take that tractor and put it where the sun don't shine (and I don't mean Oregon).

Ahhh. The Cozy Coupe. Clearly he is quite thrilled with his new ride. Either that or daddy left a nail in his seat.

Kissy cheeks. Sigh.

He finally stopped putting his hands down his pants. Instead he places them in his shirt.

Now he always looks like he trying to make armpit farts. Yay?

Nana and Pop pulled this bad boy down from the attic and Austin proceeded to test the limits of Mustang the Wonder Horse as never had been done before. That thing may be made of plastic, but I'm pretty sure it still needed a drink of water after Austin rode it.

Playing outside at Gramie and Grandpa's house.

Then he realized that I was INSIDE and he was OUTSIDE.

Austin ready to head back to NY in our over stuffed CRV. I explained to him that the Cozy Coupe did indeed get better gas mileage, but alas it has no windshield OR stereo.
