Visiting Family in Virginia Beach

Over the weekend, I drove the kiddos down to meet John in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area, where he's spent some time taking a class. My cousin Zach and his wife, Sara, and their daughter, Izzy live in Virginia Beach and we spent the weekend with them. My Uncle Greg and Aunt Beth were also in town!! We had lots of fun and great laughs while visiting with them. Sara is a wonderful cook and took such good care of us! The weekend was very relaxing and well worth the wait! We have been looking forward to this for the past year and a half...since getting our orders for Virginia! Can't wait to see them again!

Our Sweet Little Cousin, Izzy!!
Wes loved putting on Sara's boots! Walking proved to be a challenge!
Hailey up on all 4!! She is crawling and almost able to get into a sitting position on her own!
The Virginia Aquarium was lots of fun!!
Yikes! Big Sharks!!


We had barely left the parking lot when Wesley fell asleep!

Last weekend we headed to Chantilly, VA in search of our Christmas tree for our new home. After scoping out the field for a few minutes, we found a beautiful blue spruce for John to cut down. Wes enjoyed yelling "timberrrrr" with me. It was a gorgeous day and we enjoyed a hayride, watching Wes and Daddy slide, the petting zoo and play area, and roasting marshmallows! Stay tuned for pics of our decorated tree!





Wes was quite reluctant to see Santa, until the child in front of him received a candy cane from Santa!
