We spent two weeks up in Northern VA for our Christmas Vacation. George had two solid weeks off and we jumped at the chance of spending so much time together with our families.
We got up to Ashburn on Saturday afternoon and spent the evening with the Glass family. Callie and Bryce were busy getting into the Christmas spirit by baking some gingerbread cookies!
George and Nate both got the same game: Grand Tourismo. Nate bought the wheel that goes with the game and the whole family had a great time racing Lamborghinis and Aston Martins around real-life tracks.
Even Bryce got into the action and actually did a really good job. He thought it was a blast!

Sunday we headed over to my mom's house to help her decorate her Christmas tree. It's a family tradition to do it all together. George was feeling pretty sick that day and didn't make it over until much later.
Lance was much more interested in playing "Angry Birds" on Jason's Touch. Every time he beat a level, he would show everyone who was willing to listen how far he got.
Mason's first Christmas tree!
Hanging one of my ornaments from when I was a little girl.
I think this one was my dad's favorite. A bike enthusiast, he thought this one with Santa looking fit and cycling was pretty funny.
Stephen. What a goof!
Lance wanted to hang up the ornament with wolves singing carols. It was a lot of fun looking at all the ornaments my family had collected over the years and reminisce about the years we got them, or why they were important to us.
And of course we had to have treats! Amy made cherry bars--a family tradition--and we all had a good time talking and eating. I love the holidays!
