Seasons Greetings everyone! Well life has settled down here for a while...a day to be exact :) We got home from Corpus Christi tonight and my in-laws will be rejoining us tomorrow for the New Year. The party just keeps going :)
Our festivities begin here in Austin with my family. Everyone was able to make the trip and we celebrated Christmas Eve at my sister's. Its amazing to see the enormous amount of presents around the tree every year. Sometimes I imagine they are all for me-LOL. Our family always opens presents on Christmas Eve and then we await for the "Santa" gifts in the morning. The kids gets so excited and ask all night long, "Can we open our presents now?" When its finally time, its so much fun, but so much chaos. You can only imagine the amount of wrapping paper, boxes, tissue paper, ect that literally covers the whole floor. David and I have gotten smarter each year, we put our presents aside and each are assigned a child to watch. They grab, tear open and we put aside. Woo...chaos I tell you :) So the best part for me is Christmas morning....less mess and much anticipation from the boys...well Andrew and David at least...of "Will it come today?" (it being whatever they asked for that they didn't get on Christmas Eve) They had a GREAT Christmas and could confidently say they got everything they asked for and more!
After Christmas, we headed down to CC for Christmas with my in-laws. We ate, vegged out and ate some more :0 It was GREAT! LOL (I know what my New Year's resolution is going to be-heehee) Our last gift to open was Rock Band. Our cousin gave this to our whole family and we already started "Rockin Out." It was TOO FUN! Like I said we had a GREAT Christmas! Thank you to all our family and friends for the great gifts and time spent together. We love you!
