The Auffenberg's Visit Kansas

Mom, Dad, and Kayla flew in the day after Christmas! We've been having such a good time showing them around places we've come to love here in Kansas City!

                                The cousins at the airport!


Here we are when we visited Union Station and Crown Center.


I love this picture of my sweet boy when we visited Legends (outdoor shopping mall)


with both of my sweet boys :)


Bubby, Julia, and Kayla walking around Lawrence, Kansas


We had a picnic lunch on the KU campus and visited the Natural History Museum.

And of course, we opened Christmas gifts :)



And then we took them to the airport and headed back home :/

We're so glad that you guys were able to visit us! We love you and will miss you so much!

December

I've definitely enjoyed having more space to decorate in our house this year.  It's nice to have a mantle, a front porch, a pretty staircase, etc.



The kids' Elf on a Shelf: Flynn Rider.  Named after the character in Tangled :)

Out for date night for our 7 year anniversary :)




Unfortunately I didn't get a ton of Christmas pictures this year, but here are a few
