Christmas in Boston - Day 1

This was the scene looking out our window on the airplane in Chicago. The storm delayed us a few hours because they only had a few runways open. By the time we landed in Boston, we heard they had closed all the runways due to the storm, so we were happy we made it out!

Andrew made this trivet at Home Depot. Keith stained it, but Andrew helped glue and nail it together.

We didn't waste much time after we got to Grammy and Grandpa's before we started opening presents!


Jonathan got a Jr. Tag Reader

Cars GeoTrax for Andrew - a HUGE hit!

Jonathan trying to carry Keith's nail gun. It was pretty heavy for our little muscle man to move.



On Dec. 26, we flew to Boston. We had an early flight - 6 a.m., which was painful if you know me, but we probably wouldn't have made it to Boston that day had we not flown out that early. There was a snow storm in Chicago. They were supposed to get 1-3 inches, but I think they got that in the two hours we were delayed with more snow falling as we took off.

The boys did great on the plane and were so excited to see Grammy and Grandpa! We got to Boston with no problem, but we can't say the same for our luggage. Three of our four suitcases made it, but our 4th bag and two car seats were lost somewhere in Chicago. And we thought we were super smart and shoved our coats in the car seat bags before we checked them so we wouldn't have to carry them through the airport. Fortunately, it was in the high 30s in Boston so we weren't too cold and the airport had loaner car seats. And by the time we woke up the next morning, our bags had been found and delivered to our door step!

Instead of focusing on our lost bag and car seats, we opened Christmas presents! And then had dinner and early bed for our tired crew. We had to rest up before the Fleurys arrived the next day!
