December was a whirlwind to say the least! We got lots of good time to see family, catch up with some friends and coworkers, and enjoy being in America!
After we landed the night of December 3, we stayed in KC with Kyle's family for a little over a week. Then we went to Wichita to see my family, and the kids and I stayed there for a week while Kyle flew down to Texas for a business trip. Then it was back to KC for the few days leading up to Christmas with Kyle's family, back to Wichita the day after Christmas to celebrate with my family, and then the kids and I stayed in Wichita till I left on the 1st to go to a conference in Oklahoma - Kyle had left on the 29th to go help with the planning and preparations for it. The kids stayed with my parents during the conference and had a great time being spoiled by Grandpa and Grandma :)
Here are LOTS of pictures!

My parents stayed in KC overnight with my sister and came over to hang out the day after we landed. They brought Lamars donuts, and it.was.HEAVEN. The kids were excited too :) I think Layla ate about 6 donut holes in a minute flat.

We got to help decorate the Christmas tree at Kyle's parents' house, and that was SUCH a fun time. I love Christmas and putting up decorations so much.

| The two best presents! |
On the drive from KC to Wichita (about 3 hours), it was the kids' first road trip since being back, and they loved it. Landon just stared out the window for the first hour observing everything.
Layla fell asleep in about ten minutes.
Landon eventually followed suit.
 |
| We stopped halfway so I could walk around, we all could use the bathroom, and we could eat some Dunkin' Donuts :) |
We made it to Wichita! The kids were reunited with the Little People Zoo they had before we left for India.
 |
| Landon has been obsessed with football since we got back. |
More donuts :) My dad takes them with him to Lamars to pick up the donuts, which they affectionately "going donut shopping."
It snowed while we were in Wichita! The kids and I were very excited. Unfortunately, Layla, and I were all really sick the whole week we were in Wichita, so we didn't get to go play in it.
We headed back to KC for Christmas!
A couple of days before Christmas we went to this arcade/playplace with all the cousins. Layla and Landon had the time of their life.

The day after Christmas we drove to Wichita to have Christmas #2 with my family.
The kids got some fun toys, clothes, and money to go do fun things while we're in America this spring.

It was a great month, and we're looking forward to the remainder of our time in Kansas for a few months!
