We left super early Friday Morning and arrived in St Louis Friday evening. Once arriving in St Louis we got our rental car and made the 2 hour trip to MaMa and PaPa Jordan's house. The kids did wonderful on both flights and even the drive. They have become Pros at traveling. Lance loved to have adult conversation with people. He would ask questions like "Hi! How you doing? Where you going?" When they would reply where he would then say "Do you live there or work there?" It was pretty cute how he would listen to other conversations then later I would hear him saying the same thing. Once he even acted like he had missed his flight. That kid cracks me up! Lexie did fabulous on our trips. I was kind of nervous about having her wear panties the whole time but she did great!! She was scared if the toilet on the airplane though. I learned something new about Lexie; Lexie does not like to go number two anywhere but at a house. The poor thing would hold it so long until she just couldn't anymore.
Once arriving at MaMa and PaPa's house the kids were super excited!! Lance was talking a million miles an hour telling them all about our trip and about Alaska. Lexie was pretty quiet but she couldn't stop smiling! It was pretty cute!
Saturday morning Lexie and I went to the Christmas Tea with MaMa. Saturday night we all went out to Aunt JuJu's house. My siblings and their families were all there except for Matt, We missed him by a couple weeks. We had tons of fun hanging out with everyone. The kids sure have missed their cousins. Lexie even had a little birthday party.
Sunday we almost missed church. We slept in till 10:30 (7:30 Alaska time). We rushed around and got ready just in time.
Sunday evening we spent with some really great friends, Joe and Sarah. Lance got to help Uncle Joe get ready for his big duck hunt the next morning. He was so excited to tell PaPa and MaMa that he fixed the boat motor. We had a really good visit with them. We can't wait till Uncle Joe & Aunt Sarah come to Alaska to visit 😉.
Monday, the kids and I met Andrew's meme an Uncle Ted for lunch at a diner in town then we stopped in and visited another friend. Once we got back to my parents the kids took a long nap. When they woke up MaMa decided it was time to open up Christmas presents! The rest of the morning was spent chilling out and playing with new toys. Our trip to Missouri went by way too fast, but we enjoyed seeing family and visiting with friends. We also got a chance to thaw out from the cold weather.
Our flights home went very smooth. We had a quick layover in Seattle and then was on to Anchorage. Lance was so darn cute getting on the plane. He would say, "Hi! How ya doing?" To everyone who looked at him as we walked down the isle. The stewardess got a big kick out of him. They made sure to let Lance help with the routine safety talk. He got to hold their bag and hand the lady the oxygen mask, seat belt, and life vest when she asked for it. At the end of the flight she presented Lance & Lexie with their wings. She pinned the wings on Lance's pullover. He was so proud to show of his wings to daddy. While waiting for daddy to pick us Lexie puked all over herself (I guess that smoothie in Seattle was a bad idea). We ran to the bathroom and got her cleaned up. I am just glad it happened at the end of our trip. It was pretty yucky!
While we were gone we got some more snow and the weather warmed up to high 20's. Snow is in the forecast for the next few days!! I'm so excited, Hopefully a ski trip is in our near future!
