DC Cousins

My brother's family came to my Mom's house after Christmas, so we were able to spend a day together!  The kiddos loved playing together and especially opening presents!

Christmas Card

I love sending out Christmas cards!  I also found it really fun going to the mailbox each day to open Christmas cards from family members and friends!  Here was our card this year...

Christmas Day

Josh and I were probably more excited Christmas morning than Colton was!  He walked in the family room and saw the stocking full of goodies and a few toys in front of his stocking.  He played with them for a while, which gave my mom, Josh, and I time to go through our stockings.  Then, we ate a yummy Christmas breakfast and opened the doors to the room where the Christmas tree was...and all the presents!  Santa left a few unwrapped gifts for Colton and again, he played with those for a while.  We opened presents, played with toys, and opened more presents for a few hours til lunch time.  It was a great Christmas morning!  Later in the day, we skyped with my brother's family and had another wonderful dinner!  How blessed we are to be able to celebrate the birth our of Savior!!!

Christmas Eve

We were excited to spend Christmas with Tee Tee!  We went to Mom's church for Christmas Eve Service at 5:00, which was the kid-friendly service.  Colton made his presence known for sure :)  After, we had an amazing Tee Tee meal!!!  Then, we got in our pjs and left Santa some cookies, milk, and a note!

Texas Cousins!

We were so happy to be able to coordinate our schedules so that we could spend an evening with our Texas Cousins!  We had dinner at Nana and Poppa's house, opened presents, and played together!

Meeting Santa!

We went to Bass Pro Shops for our anual picture with Santa.  Colton was very excited about sitting on his lap and telling him a few gifts he would love to get.  We ate at The Chop House and then enjoyed riding the reindeer (Santa's Sleigh as Colton called it) and seeing Santa's Wonderland while we waiting on our turn to see Santa.

When Santa asked Colton what he wanted for Christmas, Colton said, "A big Rex and a Ham." Santa looked to us for help with "The Ham" part.  Colton was talking about the pig character named Ham from Toy Story...haha!

Market Square

Josh, Colton, and I enjoyed a fun family night at Market Square!  We ate a yummy dinner at Trios, enjoyed some hot chocolate, and ate a few candy canes!
