The Crockets are Going on Vacation!!!

And, sorry, United, I highly doubt Josie will be sitting in anyone's lap for very long!

We are heading to Connecticut for Christmas. We booked a hotel months ago through Hotwire, have our parking at LAX booked, and now we have our plane tickets. The girls' grandma is collecting some stuff we will need - like some extra pack n plays and warm winter clothing. We just need to rent a car and we are set.

I am putting together lists that I keep finding from the internet of other stuff we will need. I plan to ship diapers and formula straight to my mother in law's house so we have it at the ready when we get there.

I am nervous and excited. We have been going on longer adventures with the girls so they are a little more accustomed to a long day out and naps outside of their cribs before the actual day gets here.

Its so crazy to think that this trip is coming up soon...14 weeks...which means we are only 15 weeks away from a couple of birthdays. Eeeep!!!

Some pictures of the girls, just because:
