This is what our Christmas looked like...
The pilot doesn't get a holiday so me and the kids for three hours drove to his work site so that we could spend a few days together. He worked Christmas day and in reality it was only a couple of hours the kids got to see him before they were put to bed. But the other days we were there they got to see a bit more of him.
Asher LOVES his daddy. They are incredibly close although we are often so far a part. It was nice to make this effort to be together.
The little guy got to have a turn at the controls on daddy's plane and loved watching it take off. Just being so close to the plane I think was overwhelmingly awesome for
him. Like Father like Son - the boy loves planes.
With the job comes the somewhat perk of having a luxury campervan to yourself as accommodation. It has a proper fridge and freezer, kitchen sink, microwave, oven and stove, toilet shower, washing machine, built in CD player, digital tv and DVD player. The kids were spoilt with as much tv as they wanted so really we barely left the campervan. Oh and fully airconditioned 24/7 as well. HEAVEN! The boys loved sleeping in the same room as eachother - and giggled and played as they said goodnight only to be surprised to find eachother so close in the morning. They loved it! The baby happily took naps each day as well which was such a blessing. He snoozed in the cool while asher and i watched a movie or played outside. Overall a successful trip!
Before leaving to see Daddy we had family over the previous day. Sadly Asher was soooo tired and couldn't handle it all with many tantrums happening. But seeing his only cousins is always a highlight ~
Sugar over load. We decorated waffle cones to make Christmas trees ~ it was messy yes and sugary, but making memories and creating traditions are more important. The gingerbread house was a hit - didn't even know John liked ginger bread but he smashed it! Good to know...
The boys wore their Christmas pjs and sadly said good bye to the family....but we will see them soon enough for New Year's!!!
