Christmas morning


Christmas Eve

Well, we had a fantastic WHITE christmas in Texas.  The kids had a great time and got everything that their little hearts desired.  On Christmas Eve we took the kids to watch, "cloudy with a chance of meatballs".  It was a great movie, then I made a huge mexican feast and we ate until we were sick.  We had dan's famous eggnog, read the nativity story and listened to christmas music.  Christmas day was so relaxing, we stayed in our pajama's for most of the day it seems :o)  My super good friend julie dropped off some fantastic maple flavored cinnamon rolls and we ate those for christmas morning...they were awesome julie, thanks!  We then packed up the car and left the day after christmas to head to Kansas City to spend a week with my family, but unfortunately, we had to turn around in Oklahoma and come home.  The roads were horrible! I've never seen so much ice, there were about 50 cars off in the ditch.   So, after 7 hours we returned home with 3 very sad little ones. 

We spent the rest of our holiday going to movies, out to dinner, the Dallas World Aquarium, Ft. Worth Gun Show (not my choice), bowling and spending some amazing quality time together.  And of course, christmas wouldn't be christmas without everyone getting sick....YEAH!!  We love each other to much sometimes, we passed around sinus infections and bronchitious.  Now the Holidays are over and it's time to get back on a regular schedule.  My favorite part of holiday vacations....SLEEPING IN!
