We have overnight bags, suitcases, bags of DVD's, wipes, books, pull-ups, snacks and loads of Christmas gifts- divided by state all ready to be packed into Kyle's truck for the long haul ahead of us today. We will be leaving this afternoon for the trip home to Oklahoma and Texas. We will be spending the night with friends south of Omaha and then on to Oklahoma Saturday night for a quick stop, our niece will be baptized on Sunday and then down to Texas for the Xanthus Family Christmas til Christmas Eve, then back to Oklahoma for the Freeman Christmas on Christmas Day.
It will be a busy week, with loads of travel, family, food and fellowship. Should be fun, the miles seem to fade once we arrive and can settle into one space for a while. I am excited to see my nieces from both states and them get to play with Ella.
Ella is ready to get in the car and go and was not excited about having to go to daycare today instead of getting in Dad's truck and watching a Dora DVD. I am picking her up early this afternoon, in hopes that she took a good nap and have her set to go.
This trip might be more interesting, or not. Since Miss Ella is potty trained now, only wears a diaper to bed, I have purchased another set up pull ups for the car ride. I cleaned the potty and it will be coming with us, but in order to make better time and we haven't taken a lot of long trips, I am hoping the pull ups don't revert her back. But then, we don't give her a option, she doesn't get to wear a pull up or diaper during the day when we are home, so this rule will apply at both grandparents house! I love not having to buy diapers for a almost three year old, I have accomplished this much! Yeah. I am proud of Ella and she loves to tell us she has to go, we always thank her and get a loud "YOUR WELCOME" in reply!!!!
So wish us good luck, should be a good trip, hopefully the roads will be ok and not too much ice.
