Christmas Eve in PA

On Christmas eve-eve, we flew from San Diego to Pennsylvania.  It was a much easier flight than we are accustomed to over the holidays.  For starters, there was barely any line and getting through security was a breeze.  Then we only had to fly over the continental US without an extra trip from the middle of the Pacific.  Plus the kids are getting older and have a lot longer attention spans.  They played games, watched a movie and I got to read a magazine and some of my book while Matt graded physics finals.  Before we knew it we were greeting Grandpa at the gate.



 Christmas eve is a big night at eh Martin household and we were all excited for it!  After relaxing all morning we got ready for church.  Notice the grass and clear air before church...






After church, we came out to beautiful snow flakes!  The kids wasted no time making snowballs. 


 




The kids wanted to keep playing so we put their snow gear on and the snow ball fight commenced.


Matt made the kids their first snowman.

 The kids wanted to shovel...we'll see how long that lasts.


Finally, it was time to come in and warm up.  We read, Twas the Night before Christmas, the kids put cookies out for Santa and wrote him letters.  What a great kick off to our Pennsylvania trip!
