Trip to Missouri

I'm amazed every time how well the kids do on the long drive to Missouri. It gets easier every time. This year Christmas seemed super easy since we did it all online to be shipped there. Here are some photos of the trip.

Jonathan's knuckles compared to Uncle Mike's. 

We all went to the theater together on Christmas Eve and all got sick eating too much popcorn. 
We went to the George Washington Carver museum. This guy was amazing and smart. He came up with a ton of different ways to use peanuts and sweet potatoes. He help farmers who's lands were sucked dry of nutrients because cotton.  They called him the plant doctor. I think the amazing part is that he was born a slave and had moved around so much living with people as he went to school. He was also very religious. 



Jacob turned six and Andrew turned 10 on the 30th. It was fun to celebrate with everyone.



Eating cake and ice cream :) ummmm


Their Lego cakes I made.


We got to see the Civil War Arena that Kevin's parents bought recently. It was really entertaining to see how competitive people can get at kart racing. We were surprised how fast they went. It's like  mini NASCAR.

You are brave, sista! We took two kids 8 hrs to Colorado and have decided that is it. Christmas is always going to be at our house. Family is welcome to come to us, but we are done going to them!
