This year, Clare & Luke traveled down 'south' (to the Charlotte area of South Carolina) to celebrate Christmas with Papa's side of the family.
 |
A South Carolina holiday perk...outdoor Christmas Day photos!! |
 |
These two love a road trip and playing (jumping!) in hotel beds! |
As was the case last year in Kansas celebrating Christmas with Daddy's family, the twins were quite spoiled again!
 |
Heald Family tradition means one gift on Christmas Eve before bed... |
 |
...and remote control vehicles it was for both! |
 |
That fire truck and race car didn't stay in the packaging too long |
 |
After Grandma Steffie read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas'... |
 |
...Luke & Clare and their cousins went to bed very happy on Christmas Eve! |
 |
Christmas morning was more of the same... |
 |
...starting with some sweet stockings delivered by Santa overnight! |
 |
There were Legos too... |
 |
...and even a trumpet! |
 |
Of course, Daddy made sure... |
 |
...proper formal photos were taken... |
 |
...before the outdoor remote control car fun... |
 |
...commenced!! |
Before we knew it, it was time to head back home to Illinois after another successful holiday trip!
 |
Another fun Christmas with these two in the books! |
