Christmas in nebraska {part 1}

This year we had to travel quite a ways (the longest we've ever had to travel at least) to get back home for Christmas.  Because of Tyler's work schedule we had to travel on Christmas Eve.  I was pleasantly surprised that the airports were pretty calm.  Probably because most people were already with their families.  Anyway, we had no trouble and all our flights were on time! Yay!

We celebrated Christmas with my family a couple days after Christmas.  Our tradition after eating a soup supper is to get all bundled up and run outside around the house and the first one back gets to open the first present.  This year was the first year Lincoln got to participate (last year he was too little and it was FREEZING outside!) and he LOVED it.

Getting ready to run outside!  With Daddy's cap on :)

He has no idea what we're doing but if it includes going outside, he's all for it!

All of us ready to run!

And then this is the reaction we got when we all came back inside after running!

 I think there's another present under there....let me get it!
