Oh Christmas Tree

We went to my hometown, Bartlesville, OK, for Christmas. It only took us 7 hours to get there which I thought wasn't too bad with a 6 week old, a 3 year old and our dog. We stopped twice for feedings and used the stops to eat once and take potty breaks on the other. The weekend went fast with visiting family and going from one family gathering to another.  We were able to visit my great-grandmother and she met her great-great grandson which was so special. She is truly an amazing woman that has lived a long life and given so much to our family. Everyone wanted to hold Stratton the whole weekend so it gave me a little break which was nice.  It was really hard to pick pictures to post from the weekend but each one has a special memory to me. Enjoy!
