Grandpa Pat, Grandma T, Aunt Kerri and even Great Grandma Reba made it up to NC for a really great Christmas visit. Uncle Kevin was able to come for a bit, as well as Aunt Amanda too! We did a whole bunch of nothing, but had the best time doing it! The kids (although both have bad colds) were for the most part on their best behavior and loved playing - especially chase with Grandpa Pat! Naylor was really doing great with everyone's names and in the mornings when we'd come downstairs he'd be calling for Grandpa! That was the name he definitely has down the best - T sounds a little more like 'tease' and Kerri more like 'terris' and Kevin is 'tevin' and Amanda is 'manda', but he's getting there and knows who each person is. Lalon was her usual charming self, doling out smiles the entire visit - she's either going to be a politician or a beauty queen... maybe both!

The kids got some really fun toys which they have not seemed to put down since they opened them, so I'd say they would definitely give the Higgins Clan 4 thumbs up in approval! Both kids got a pillow pet; Naylor a monkey (that he calls hoo-hoo because that's the sound a monkey makes) and Lalon a bee (which she loves to just pet, it's really cute). Naylor also is very fond of his new dump truck - I'm not sure it's left his side more than 20 minutes other than bedtime and Lalon the cutest little purse, which she knew exactly how to play with! It was so cute watching her put on the bracelet and pretend to put on lipstick! A few pics here, but the full documentation of the long weekend is on Facebook if you have time to check them out.

We are off to a great Christmas so far and looking forward to more time with family. Grammy's flight was delayed yesterday, but she should be arriving today as long as the weather and airports cooperate.

Also, a big HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY to Uncle Robert - hope it's a great one!
