Traveling for the holidays has never been easy for us. Even though we are just driving to Jersey it ends up being a production every year. This year of course was even more of a challenge with the little one. Even though we have a wagon we still needed to borrow a roof top carrier from our friend Adam. Good thing we did because there was no way Summer and Chase would have fit in the car with all of our stuff, and the return trip was even more crammed. Jason however, is the most efficient car packer I know! As usual traffic in Delaware stunk, and it took us longer than expected to get to our destination on the 23rd. After dropping off Summer at Jas' best friend's house(hooray for doggie doors) we headed over to Adam and Cindy's for the first of many Christmas parties. This year's white elephant exchange definitely topped previous years' and since this is a family friendly blog I can't share details on quite a few of the gifts. Some of the more PG gifts were a shake weight, Charles in Charge box set of DVDs, a giant turkey decoy, a faux hair bump-it(that was one of our gifts), and some hideous manatee, dolphin and mermaid candle holder. Luckily Chase is still too young to understand some of the inappropriate gifts:) He didn't go to bed until super late that night-too much to see, and ended up waking up ready to play at 6am. Mommy and Daddy were less than thrilled since we knew we had a big day ahead of us.
