Christmas in Tally

December 23rd the Cremers and Corrigans packed up and headed from Austin, TX to Tallahassee, FL.  I know what you're thinking - a 4 year old (Jamie), 2 year old (Jack) & two 6 month olds (Andrew & Parker) all on the same flights?!  Well, yes, and actually they did a great job of keeping it together on two longs days of travel. 

Christmas Eve was filled with friends at Nana and Popi's annual Chrimstas Party.  We loved seeing the bridge group and having them peak in on the sleeping twins.  Some of Trish and Terri's old friends from high school came by too.  Rita and Warren came by early in the day and got to hang with the boys for a while before the party. 

Christmas Day the boys got to meet lots of new people - Grandma Lucy, PapaJoe, Jan & Michael from LA, Kay and her two daughters, Janice & Preston, Gale & Emmalea and Yvonne with her daughter Lisa.  We are very excited for Michael and Jan who tied the knot on Christmas Eve!  Congrats to the happy couple!

A couple of observations from Christmas Day -
1 - Toy companies actually make wrestling rings for cars - WOW. 
2 - Parker can now stay sitting up for 1-2 minutes on his own!!
3 - Andrew has a thing for older women as demonstrated by his attachment to Kay's 18 year old daughter.
4 - If I had to pick one thing to eat for the rest of my life it just might be Aunt Janice's shrimp salad.
5 - Toys/toy packaging still require an engineering degree to open/assemble.

After a busy Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, we chilled a Camp Perdue on the 26th and then packed up to head home on the 27th.  It was a lovely holiday and we are so blessed to have such wonderful family.  We love you and miss you!

Random side note - the TSA agents in Panama City thought they hit the jackpot when they saw the twins coming.  It's a small and fairly new airport.  "Finally," the TSA agent thought to himself, "a chance to use all the fancy equipment we have been dying to try out."  They tested 4 bottles of formula, 4 bottles of water, powdered formula for mixing bottles, Vaseline, lotion, hand sanitizer, saline nose drops, diaper cream, and anything else in our two diaper bags that look "suspicious."  The baby food, packed by Gerber had to get management approval.  30 minutes later we were checked in.  To their credit, we do look very dangerous and terrorist-like as the photos above show...
