Uncle Troy and Tyler’s visit

Troy and Julie decided to spend Christmas at their own house this year which was great for them but not so great for us. Thomas and Noelle really missed not having Tyler there.  They understood though that Tyler needed to be home for Santa to bring him his gifts.

Troy decided to take Tyler on a road trip and drove up to Stockton a few days after Christmas and stayed until New Years. The kids were thrilled that they were coming and that we were going to have a third “Christmas”. They loved opening gifts with Tyler and Uncle Troy.

Kelly found this shirt for Troy which is totally fitting for him.

They also loved having a “slumber party” in Noelle’s room.

The next day we went sledding. The kids all had a blast.

Playing in the snow was also a huge hit with the kids.

Then on Christmas Eve we went to the Stockton Thunder game with Grandma and Pop.

What a blast we had.  The kids loved playing with Tyler and Kelly and I enjoyed having Troy home. I hope this becomes a yearly trip!

Sounds like you all had a great time together, isn't nice when you are all together. It just feels complete.
