Christmas in St Louis

We were so blessed to be able to spend Christmas this year in St Louis with Dave's sister Atria, her husband Jeff and their daughter Zoe (and of course, Grandma and Grandpa Dennison!). Dave and I hadn't seen Zoe since she was 1 month old, and the boys had never met her. They were SO excited to meet another cousin. They all hit it off quickly, especially Zoe and Crew (only 5 months apart). We spend 5 days together, and despite the FRIGID temperatures, we had a blast.

On Christmas Eve, we went to the St Louis Science Center, which was so fun! It's a free museum, and they have special exhibits the you pay for.  Well, thanks to our membership in Fort Worth, we were able to go into all the extra exhibits for free! YAY!

I think this picture is hilarious.  Zoe so desperately wanted to give Crew a hug, and he was over it.

Christmas morning was wild. Presents, ribbon, and wrapping paper were everywhere.  It was so fun!! For the Dennison boys, the theme this year was LEGOS.

Crew was SO excited to get his very own Legos.

The day after Christmas we headed to the Arch. It's been 20 years since I'd been there (Ash- remember??). The boys loved it, and we even took the tram up to the top!

The top of the Arch! (in case you're wondering about the goggles Crew is wearing. His fashion statement, not mine!)

Cousins:

What a fun week we had with Dave's family! As Jeff is getting close to getting a "real" doctor job, we are praying they end up in Texas!! Maybe then Grandma and Grandpa would move here???
