Christmas ' 07

This year we flew to California for Christmas. It was Carter's first time on an airplane and Camdyn's 3rd. Camdyn was so excited! We left on Christmas Eve morning, arriving in California at 8:30 a.m., making for a very long day. That evening we opened presents and Christmas Day morning we opened stockings and later that day had our Christmas dinner. We mostly relaxed while there, although we went up into the mountains one day. Camdyn loved that. It was actually cold in California. Most of the time when the kids played outside, they had to wear their coats. Not what we were expecting. We stayed there for 8 days. We had a late flight out the day we left, which we were delayed a total of 3 hours. We even boarded the plane once, went out on the runway, sat there for about 5-10 minutes, before heading back to the gate, having to get off the airplane and board another one. By this time it was 10:00 p.m. California time (midnight Oklahoma time on New Year's Eve). We finally arrived home about 3:00 a.m. just in time to get about 4 hours of sleep and head off to Springfield, MO to my grandma's house to have a rushed Christmas with my family. We stayed there one night and came back home. We had a great time seeing family. Camdyn and Carter had fun playing with their cousins and meeting their new one Briley McCall born on December 11.
