Oklahoma Christmas

McKenna and I left early Christmas morning to fly to OK to be with my side of the fam for the week after Christmas. We had to leave Dave behind to start his new job with the fire dept. There was a severe snow/ice storm the day before we flew out. Our flight out of Jax was on time and our layover flight was also on time...we were thrilled...until we got to Tulsa (our final destination). We couldn't land because of the wind. We were rerouted until the wind died down...sigh. We ended up be only several hours late, so we were still thankful, but TIRED! McKenna was a good, little traveler... and I was blessed to have very helpful people sit with us each leg of the trip. Santa and Mrs. Claus were even there to greet us in the airport.


We got to spend time at Memom's house before driving to Oklahoma City to Gigi and Pop's. McK got another household item toy...a vacuum!!!


Us kids bought Gigi new pots and pans for Christmas! McK got more fun toys - a shopping cart and a mixer for her kitchen!!


Gigi had so many toys for McK and kept her thoroughly entertained. Pop had a fun 4 wheeler waiting for the big girl...and us REAL big kids loved playing the wii on the chilly, snowy days!


McKenna got to experience her first snow! She wasn't sure about it at first, but warmed up to it quickly. She didn't really like walking in it (because she's so dainty, lol), but she liked it when Ha-Ha (Aunt Hannah) let her eat it!


I got to spend New Year's Eve with my Mama, brother, sister-in-law, and some of their couple friends. Dad was great and stayed home with McK while the rest of us did dinner, hung out, and played "Mad Gab". It was a fun way to bring in 2010!

It was a great Christmas and time with family. We really missed having Dave with us and hope that it won't have to be that way too many more times, if any!
