Christmas in Virginia

Christmas vacation means traveling to Virginia! As usual, we were delayed getting there, but getting home is always worth dealing with the headaches of flying. The weather was super warm ... almost up to 80 one day. Nana had cleaned and decorated our Virginia House, while Uncle Bret and Granddaddy had set up a Christmas tree for us. The whole visit was just perfect. We loved every memory made with the Sterling and Mills families!
Pure joy! Jackson got the Iron Man Hulk Buster he'd been asking for all year.
