Christmas in MD

This year we spent Christmas in Maryland with my family. I haven't been to MD for Christmas since before Andrew and I were married, so I was very excited to see everyone this time of year. We brought all of our presents with us which made for a very cramped minivan. We left at 4:30 am, stopped at McDonald's for breakfast and then we were on our way. I wrapped small trinkets/toys for Sydney to open after each movie she watched during the drive (my friend Natalie gave me that idea). She got a Pez dispenser, coloring book, M&M mini's and a couple other small toys. She loved unwrapping each item and it kept her busy. Thankfully the drive was very easy, we were in MD before noon, which has never happened before, and we were at my Mom's place by 3:00, also a first. The girls did great. My Mom moved from Gaithersburg to Germantown and we were anxious to see Mimi's new place!! Here are pictures from the next day, Christmas Eve.

Nap Time. Maddie took most of her naps this week on our laps. We loved it.


Christmas cookies. We made Christmas Trees and Snowmen.
