This year for Christmas we were able to go up to Wisconsin to be with Ryan's family and we had a blast! We've been meaning to go there for Christmas for a while now but things kept coming up. Kelly got married a few days after Christmas 2 years ago and last year I was 39 weeks pregnant, so for obvious reasons we had to skip out, but this year the stars aligned and we made it! Ryan got a week and a half off from work and we were there pretty much the whole time. It only took 15 hours to drive and really wasn't that bad. Vince was a trooper and made the trip much more enjoyable!
Pretty much whenever we'd stop we get Vince out and have him "drive" since it was too cold or wet to crawl around and he LOVED it! A lot of times we'd have to pry him from the steering wheel when it was time to go again.
Had to stop at Culvers
Vince's fortress in the back seat
It was really fun in Wisconsin because Ryan still has 3 younger siblings that live at home and his oldest brother and his family were there for Christmas as well. They have 2 kids close to Vinces age and they all had fun!
Jenna and Jared
I thought this was the cutest! Andrew is about 2 1/2 and Vince is 1 and wanted to be a big kid too! It was so cute when they would play together and he would watch Andrew walk around with this popper toy and laugh and laugh. So cute!
Best buds, besides when they would fight over the same toy! haha
Vince and Jared
Look at that cutie, Jared is 8 months old
Vince loved Tanner and would smile big and get excited when he's walk by. Tanner was kinda partial to the kids, I think he's been around the block with getting his fur pulled and preferred to avoid it. :)
Wisconsin is by far the coldest place Vince has ever been and luckily our friend let Vince borrow her sons old jacket because lets be honest, I truly don't even need a big coat down here in Georgia. There was snow the whole time and definitely a white Christmas which was fun! Especially for Vince's first Christmas! When we left it was -17!!!
Vince had a blast being with his cousins and it was so fun being with family!
Oh Fun! I'm so glad you guys got to go! Vince looks like he had a lot of fun. Ella loved all of these pictures!
