Xander and I flew in to Missouri to visit my parents in January. This was our first time to see their new home. Tamara and her boys were headed there too. Xander was very good on the long flight.
Most of the US was covered in snow and we flew over a good bit of it.
Xander was very happy to see his Poppy & CC!
Unfortunately X-Man picked up some kind of bug on the plane and it took its toll on all of us.
This was Joss and Emit's first time to experience the snow. They were adorable and super excited.
Xander has played in the snow in New Jersey, but still wasn't quite sure what was going on.
He of course enjoyed eating it, but quickly became frustrated because it was so deep and difficult to walk in.
CC was there to save the day!
Joss sporting his cool new winter gear!
Tamara pulling Emit. I think she was as excited to see snow as the boys were.
Xander looking like a tiger in the snow. Ha!
ZOOM!
CC scared us all when see decided to go for a turn!
Emit is grinning behind that scarf!
Xander wasn't feeling well, so he didn't play in the snow very long.
Tamara, CC, Joss & Emit played outside for a long time.
Having SNOW much fun!!!
This is one of my favorites. Mom looks so happy and healthy! Praise God! We sure do love our CC!
Joss decided to come warm up inside with me and Xander and drink some hot cocoa.
CC getting some loving too!
Gator Time
Emit was sweet enough to sit in the back so Xander could ride and hold on in the front. Thanks Emit, you are such a sweet big cousin.
Joss was careful to drive slow for Xander too. Thanks Joss, Xander had so much fun!
Poppy was close by just in case X-Man decided to jump ship. Thanks Poppy!
So sweet!
Poppy & a Smurf!
Hey CC!
Xander sure loves his Poppy!
Isn't he handsome?!
1...2...thwee...go!

Xander wanted to drive, but wasn't really sure what to do. Emit was trying to coach him.

Ninja Battle! Joss and Emit are solid muscle. Not sure how long I will be able to handle these awesome Ninjas!
We ate lunch at the PX and the boys went crazy seeing all the soldiers.
Giving Poppy some Bye-Bye Love.

Xander and I were still staying for another week, Poppy just got a squeeze in for fun.
The HOT sign was on!
We spent the night at a hotel in St. Louis since Tamara and the boys had such an early flight the next day. CC trying to enjoy every single second.
Goodbyes are always hard!
Xander had a blast with all of CC & Poppy's cool toys!
Choo-Choo!

Happy Birthday CC...& many more!!!
What's a Birthday without family, some balloons, treats and DQ ice-cream cake?!
Xander is a pro at blowing out candles. He was happy to help CC. We actually ate cake for breakfast, per CC's request. Birthday girl gets what she wants, no complaints here.
Poppy trying to teach Xander how to blow the horn.
Xander had a blast with all the balloons.
We went for a nice walk before it got too cold.
We had cake again after dinner. Xander isn't a big fan of sweets, but he loved the ice cream cake.
Smart boy!
Playing with CC!
He looks adorable, but I hope he doesn't really need to wear glasses.
Chugga Chugga Choo Choo!
Bedtime kisses.
CC cuddled with Xander so I could get a shower. He is kind of a bed hog!
Headed back to Las Vegas. We had a wonderful visit. Hope to see you guys again very soon!
Xander calls the luggage carriers trains. They do look like trains! He loves watching the planes come in and out at the airport too. He is so smart.
Muah!
Watching Monster's University on the plane.
