The things we do in VA

This trip has been a pretty typical Virginia trip. We started with a great Christmas celebration when we arrived. We looked at some old Christmas photos on the tree! This is something I plan on doing to my tree next year!
What a great place for a collection of photos!


This is not a Christmas picture, but I love this one! Julian is so cute



We also did our typical chic-fil-a for lunch! This is a Virginia tradition for us! It's not like we don't have them in NJ, but for some reason we never go when we are home. Honestly, it is probably a good thing we never eat it at home! But, treating ourselves is always fun!!


Julian and I also took a trip to Charlottesville and left Eloise home with her Gigi for 4 hours! (might not sound like a big deal, but for me, it is) You never know what Gigi is going to do when left alone with her grandchildren!! This time, she Gave her almond butter on bread, and put coconut oil in her hair and picked out her cradle cap. When we got home she was covered in almond butter and her head was one big oily mess. The things that happen when Gigi's in charge! But, we now have something else Eloise will eat and all her cradle cap is gone! (sidenote: she didn't have much cradle cap, but I'm glad to see it go!)


Whenever we are in VA we tend to get our oil changed and get Duke groomed. Well, the grooming went smoothly but the oil change turned out a little weird. We dropped it off at 8:45am Tuesday morning and got a call around noon that everything went fine with the oil change but when they were pulling it around, they hit another car and busted up our bumper and light! Haha! They brought it to a body shop and they had to order a part! Crazy right? So we couldn't go anywhere with Eloise because they had our carseat until Thursday late afternoon. Minor inconvenience but we got a free oil change and carwash!

On Friday, We took Kate and Olivia to the children's museum and had a great time!






During arts and crafts, Julian painted Olivia...







Another typical thing in Virginia is to have a bunch of dogs under your feet constantly! This picture is the usual Duke, Hank, and Hope. I forgot to take the picture when Tucker was here, too.




It's New Years eve tomorrow and we have nothing big planned. Maybe some drinks and games with Julians family. We are having a good time but I'm already excited about heading home! There is NO place like home.
