Christmas Trip: Leg 1

Daddy and Elias at Caribou Coffee during our first stop of the trip to Kansas. 6 hours in and glad to be out of the van.
We left the kids in their pajamas for the trip because we departed in the middle of the night and we thought it'd be more comfortable. When we got to the coffee shop in Des Moines (which has become our regular stop), we just put Asher's snowboots on over his footies. He liked it a lot and stomped around the store quite exhuberantly. Super cutie!
Addilyn finally went to sleep. We left at 2:00 and she was still awake at 4:00. I'm not sure how much sleep she actually got that night but it caught up with her later in the morning.
Looking cheerful despite being in the car for probably 9 hours at this point.
Skip to Christmas Eve...hanging out and taking pictures with Aunt Courtney.
Giving Daddy a piggyback ride.
The tree overstuffed with gifts.
The chaos after the gift opening...everybody checking out their new stuff. Asher just stared and stared at that Lego Mater.
Elias hanging out with Lily's baby.
New pajamas!
Opening stockings in the morning.

That's not all that happened at the Johnson Christmas (I missed the meal, Christmas Eve service, etc) but that's what we have photos of. On to the next stop.
