From Midland, we drove to San Marcos. The girls did really well on the drive out to Midland, but this drive to San Marcos did not go near as well. We ALL were thankful when we finally made it to Opa and Oma's house. When Aiden first walked through the door the next morning, Charlotte literally stomped her feet and screamed an ear-piercing scream. She was so excited! After the "new" wore off, we tried to pose the kids in front of the tree (that Aiden decorated..and redecorated...and redecorated), but Charlotte was just in a silly mood. At one point, she laid down in front of Paige and jibber-jabbered nonsense, which made Paige grin from ear to ear.
We opened presents next. Aiden loved his crocodile and Charlotte loved the ties that held her first Cabbage Patch doll in its box. Figures, right?
Then we headed outside to burn off some energy. It was so cold! Paige did not join us. As cold as it was, Charlotte would not keep her hat on, stubborn little bugger! We played with the dogs, jumped on the trampoline, fed Ruby, and dug in the (freezing cold) dirt. This is pretty much what happened every day. And every night, Charlotte and Aiden watched a movie while the grown-ups played Settlers of Catan. Fun stuff!
