Arrived!

The moment today: walking through the door at Mom and Dad's house. It was warm, with the glow of the big Christmas tree, and the smell of tasty food. An amazing feeling of relief and calm after a crazy day of Christmas travel.

After: Driving from Iowa to Chicago....

Parking in a slightly shady parking lot

Riding in a shuttle bus

Moving three huge suitcases, two car seats, two backpacks, and two boys to the baggage check line (which was way too long!)

Through security with the babies and dodging a stray cat! (southwest allows cats on board now....not a great idea in my opinion)

Peanut Butter and Jelly on the floor of the airport waiting at our gate

Finding a seat (southwest)

1 hour and 1/2 on the plane

Gather luggage fit it in Dad's car.....plus all five of us:)

1 hour car ride from Buffalo

Finally at 6 PM we arrived.....

Traveling with little ones is not the best but arriving to see loved ones during the holidays makes you quickly forget all the drama.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
