Christmas with Cousins





























Christmas in Virginia!


Our Christmas trip to Virginia started on a drive to Las Vegas with Kory and Mary. We flew out of the Vegas airport. Hailey was so excited. We had been talking about going on a airplane ride to Grandma's house far far away (Virginia) and now it was time. Hailey did great on the airplane. I (Danielle) was a little nervous about her sitting still for so long but it was not even a problem. She was my little sweetheart.




"Yeah, I love ridding on airplanes."


Hailey had so much fun playing with her cousins, aunts, uncles, Grandma, and Grandpa.


Hailey liked to play at the park across the street from Grandma's home.

Hailey and Alissa were always hanging out. Hailey had a lot of fun with you Alissa!


Hi uncle Casey, ( and Jaymes in the back). Thanks for all the fun we had. I loved when you two woulds swing me in the blanket and toss me on the couch. I miss you!---Hailey


While we were in Virginia the family went to a cute ice cream shop and guess who was there? Yep-Santa! The kids got their pictures with him and had some delicious ice cream.






"Baby Kate" (Hailey says "baby" before kids names) and Hailey with cute yet dirty ice cream faces. OHHHHH, what cute girls!


This charming ice cream shop had two Christmas back drops that we took advantage of. Oh yes, we all had fun! Smile Hailey, Santa is coming to Grandma Sandra's home soon.

Alissa and Danielle- just being funny!






Hailey is ridding a rocking horse at the ice cream shop---and oh so cerious!

Santa really did not want the married children to sit on his lap, so we all pilled into his sleigh andand took some pictures of our own.

Christmas Eve--- It's not Christmas Eve without the Nativity. We had Mary, Joseph and a wise man all in Grandma's living room. Oh, and baby Jesus-mini mouse.




After getting to watch the nativity we spent some time around Grandma Sandra's grand piano. Talent filled the room that night. Alan sang to us while Sandra played the piano beautifully. She did amazing especially since she has a broken back. Jennie played her french horn for us and we even heard Alissa and Bethany sing, and Logan played his "tuba- what Hailey calls it" trombone.





During the musical talent we had some "silly faces" appear. Max and Hailey were having fun running in circles right in the middle of all the talent. They stold the show! Love you two!




Did that night ever end? I don't think so. Guitar Hero was played way into the night, or was it the morning.





Bub and his Grandma Lillian on Christmas morning.





Say Cheeeeeeeeeeese! Merry Christmas everyone!



Hailey and Kate practicing their talent on Grandma's grand. So Cute!


While we were in Virginia we celebrated Aunt Kristen's 16th birthday and Hailey's 3rd birthday.




Time to say goodbye! We love you guys and can't wait to see you all again!


The Whole Longenecker Family!
