Grandma and Grandpa's house

Much to Cole and Franny's joy, we spent Christmas day at Grandma and Grandpa's house.  There is something about spending time there that is always cozy, comfortable, and special; it is definitely the kids' favorite place away from home, and we all love spending the holidays there.   And, thankfully, it is so close that happy, tired kids don't have a long trip home and could spend a little bonus time with Grandma and Grandpa.  Needless to say, it was a wonderful day.   We definitely missed our family members who weren't able to be there, but enjoyed a memorable Christmas, complete with special time with Auntie Noelle, music with Uncle Bill (a Cole favorite), and the warm, secure feeling knowing that we are all happy, healthy, and well.
