During the week between Christmas and New Year's, we split our time between visiting Aaron's sisters up north and visiting canoe guide friends of Aaron near Alexandria. James was a good traveler, and perhaps more importantly, a good sleeper. We were a little unsure how well he would do sleeping in strange places, and in his travel crib instead of a toddler bed. The most difficult parts of the trip were James-wrangling in places that weren't babyproofed and trying to be quiet in the morning while others were still sleeping.
As we had hoped, James spent most of his time in the car asleep.
After we got to the A-frame, it was time for more presents. Auntie Molly got James a train!
The best part was when the train crashed into different items on the track. So exciting!
Making "tunnels" for the train was pretty exciting, too (James loves tunnels)
Auntie Lindsey got James a turtle that lights up and displays the night sky. James doesn't have many light-up toys, so he spent a lot of time with this one, trying to "make moons"
After James went to bed, there was plenty of time for visiting, playing games, and reading by the fire. It was really nice to get out of the cities for a week and spend quality time with family and friends. Perfect holiday break!
