Quick Road Trip

 We made a whirlwind two day visit to JD's mom in the Pittsburgh area. I get so annoyed with myself because I often get caught up with what is going on and forget to get the camera out. We were surprised with a visit by JD's oldest nephew, his wife and daughter. It was short, but a wonderful visit since it had been four years since we had seen them. This was the first time most of the family met Selah and Bella; of course, they loved all the attention. Melissa told Bella that she was their cousin and asked if she know what a cousin was? Bella replied, "is it a mom?" It'll take them a while to understand all the family terms, especially since we don't live near enough for steady interaction. 

I did remember to pull out the camera at the end of the visit for a few pictures -

We have the kids' Christmas party at JD's company this morning - I guess it's going to be our only Santa sighting this year, as we haven't crammed in a visit to the mall.
