Christmas-part 2 & New Years

The day after Christmas, the boys and I got up early and drove to PA where part two of our Christmas holiday would begin. We spent time at my parents house, where my brother, sister-in-law and niece were also staying. Hayes & Bryce loved playing with their cousin, Grace. Aunt Kathy & Uncle Fred arrived the next day from Mississippi, and then the following day Chris came in on the train and my sister and her boys came over for the day. Saturday was the Payton Christmas celebration. It was pretty chaotic since there were 5 children under the age of 6 opening presents, but we had a great time and the boys got a ton of great presents and Chris & I made out pretty well too!

We were at my parents house until New Year's Eve where we headed to Herndon, VA for lunch with the Aldorisio clan. Hayes & Caitlin were quite happy to see each other and Hayes did not want to go home! Caitlin got a game called Hullabaloo for Christmas the kids played, they had a great time.

We made the drive home and spent New Year's Eve at home. The boys went to bed early because they were exhausted from our week long celebration and Chris and I watched a movie and ended up going to bed around 10:30, because we were also exhausted. So, we were all asleep when the new year rang in. Happy 2008!
