We made our annual trek to Kansas for the holidays with the first stop....Grandma and Grandpa Maupins! We had wonderful weather and Brooke and Grandpa set out on an exploration walk.
 |
| Every year, Gpa puts out this snowman family on their back porch! |
Christmas morning......I think it was about 6:30 a.m. and the kids were waiting anxiously at the top of the stairs. The adults were getting their coffee and cameras.....necessities!
 |
| Brooke ran downstairs and saw this pretty little table that Santa left for her and on top of it was the ballet boots and ballet dress that she wanted!! I love her face! |
Immediately and every day since.....she wears her ballet dress and what she calls "ballet boots" Sad to say that those ballet boots didn't last long, so she just wears her real ballet shoes. Even better!
 |
| She got a My Little Pony from Uncle Josh and she cuddled up with Gma to show her. |
The boys were both super excited to get new bats!! Brooke got a little ride on bicycle that she hasn't quite figured out yet....still working on that one, but she was more impressed that it was pink!
One of the things that the kids LOVE is Gma and Gpas yard! Everyday, for HOURS, the boys were out there playing football or doing something in the yard. That's one of the things we wish we had here. The boys go out in our yard, hit the ball once, and it goes over the fence.....bye, bye, ball....
 |
| Jason was teaching them some strategy I'm sure! |
Christmas afternoon.....too much excitement for Brooke!! She actually just curled up and fell asleep on the couch! A very RARE moment of daytime stillness for her.
The kiddos with Grandma and Grandpa!
Uncle Josh with the kids....they love him and think he is crazy (in a good way!) He is :)
 |
| Other activities include.....a little exercise.... |
 |
| Reading the German dictionary.... |
The last day that we were at Jason's parents house, Drew got to go to the KU Basketball camp. He wasn't old enough to go last year, so he was ready this year. He loves meeting all the players (a lot he had met in HAwaii and they remembered him!) He had a great time!
On the court at Allen Field House! Future Jayhawk!

| Hilarious pose....Brooke waiting for her ball after bowling....Jason and I went out for the afternoon and the kids went bowling with Larry and Kathy. |
 |
| These things are sooo cool for little ones to help them bowl! I hear the kids had a great time and ended up at an old time soda fountain afterwards. We had a great time with the Maupins and made many great memories! |
