A Very Oklahoman Christmas

Happy (late) Christmas! We spent this Christmas in Oklahoma and had a fabulous time. We Enjoyed getting to spend Christmas morning with Kyrstie's family and then getting to go to her Grandparent's home to spend Christmas afternoon with all the extended family. That evening we had the opportunity to Sykpe with Jimmy's little brother, Alex. Alex is currently serving a mission for our church in the Oakland/San Francisco area. 

We left Oklahoma on the 26th and took a scenic route back to Little Rock. We stopped at Mount Magazine which is the highest point in Arkansas. We decided to do some hiking there and had a great time! It was insanely foggy, which meant we couldn't see the scenic overlooks, but it was very neat in it's own way. 

I guess I don't actually have all that much to say, but I do have a couple pictures to share. Sorry I didn't take more. I decided that rather than "capturing" the moments, I would just enjoy them. 

 On the way to Stillwater, we stopped in Prague, OK at the National Shrine Infant Jesus. It was pretty neat.

And Jimmy and Sam at the end of the hike. Sam was having such a good time (in case you can't tell by the cheeseball smile on his face).

This is one of the scenic overlooks that we stopped out. The fog was so thick that it just looked like nothing-ness out there. It was really surreal.

For comparison, this is what the same overlook looks like in normal weather.




Aunt Tatyanna and Uncle Logan got Sammy a stacking giraffe for Christmas, and this boy is obsessed. He spends a good forty-five minutes at a time playing with it. It's a definite winner and I highly recommend it to anyone with a little at home.
I know she bought it at Target, but it appears to no longer be sold. you can get something similar here and here.
Jimmy was definitely well loved this trip. Sawyer really liked snuggling up to him. 

Thanks for stopping by, 

Kyrstie
