12 Days of Our Christmas Road trip!




          Every couple of years, we think it's a good idea to drive cross-country with our kids to visit my mother for Christmas.  We love being with my family on Christmas, but the road to get there is long, arduous, tedious, frustrating and hilarious!

This year, my darling husband acquired the one thing in the world I have been asking for: a third-row seat for our Yukon! It doesn't match, but now the whole family fits into the same car, at the same time!! :D

So, in honor of our recent fit of insanity, I jotted down a little ditty to make you all smile! (I'm trying to stop using "Y'all". It's my new year's resolution)  Enjoy!
