This December seemed to fly by. I think I got all of the Christmas shopping done in one week. Once again we had about 5 Christmases. Some of our pre-Christmas activities included riding on the Polar Express, breakfast with Santa (in which Shea would not talk to Santa without his Target catalog and Mattie just screamed!) and a trip to the Gaylord Texan to the ICE exhibit.
This year we even had a white Christmas. I don't ever remember having a white Christmas in Dallas! We all thought it was very cool. Well, everyone except the dog!
#1 Houston: After a 6 hour trip filled with car-sickness and screaming babies, we finally made it to Nauntie and D's for our first Christmas of the season. We also got to see Jay, Romy, Sherrry and Robbie. We all had lots of fun. Shea got the new Millenium Falcon. The thing is bigger than he is and one of us has to carry it around for him.
#2 My Parents: Christmas eve is always at Kaki and Paw-Paw's house. Mattie fell earlier in the day so she had a nice black eye for all of Christmas. All the kiddos got tons of presents. Shea once again got lots of pirate gear and some cowboy dress up stuff - complete with stick horse.
#3 Santa: As always Santa was very good to us. I guess we were all well behaved through the year! Mom and Dad got new bikes! Shea got Pirate legos, a new gun, and bendaroos. Mattie got a new pink car and lots of "Little People" toys. She wouldn't get out of the car for days.
#4 MeMe and Pop Pop: Down to Chris's side of the family for Christmas morning. Shea got tons of Playmobile pirate stuff which took us about 4 hours to put together. Mattie got fun toys, but I think her favorite was the pair of squeaky shoes. She loves to stomp around. At least we always know where she is.
Another Christmas gone. We are truly blessed to have so much family to share the holidays with and so many happy memories!
