Christmas Day

On Christmas morning, David got up at a decent hour. He opened his presents and was still looking for more!

Later in the day we went to Uncle Paul's house. For some reason I didn't take pictures! I've got to get better at remembering! We did shoot some video. We had delicious food for lunch. After lunch we had fun playing Guitar Hero. I was the singer, Tony played bass, Charlie played guitar and mom tried to play the drums. We also played Apples to Apples. I really enjoyed the time we spent there.

After that we stopped by Papa's house to exchange gifts with mom. David was very tired from all the activities of the past two days. He was getting upset that the present that Grandmary had got for him wasn't a toy.

Christmas Eve

Each Christmas eve we go visit my grandparents--Grom and Granddaddy. For about 10 years now they have lived in Hillsboro. We had a nice visit with my dad's side of the family. If you are wondering why Ashley is not in these pictures, it's because she was with her mom for Christmas this year.

David has been wanting to climb a tree. We don't have many large trees in our neighborhood and so he hasn't been able to. Fortunately, we found a tree to get into in Hillsboro!

Even Aunt Sasa got in the tree!

When we were there, a couple who is revovating a house next door came over. The woman said to me "I've never seen anything like this!" And that pretty much sums it up. There are presents everywhere! They fill the room!

It's OK, Sasa...anyone would get confused in all this mayhem!

OK, so I didn't take very many pictures. I think it's because we also had our video camera and so some of the trip is on there.

A Visit from Friends

One of Dustin's friends, Matt, and his family came down to Texas during this month and stopped by for a visit. David had a great time playing with Kate and Cole!

Pre-Christmas Fun

This month has gone by so fast! I can't believe Christmas is already over, but I do have lots of good memories from this year. Everything went so fast that I didn't even get any Christmas cards sent!

David did most of the tree decorating this year (which is why most of the ornaments are at his height).

The first festive activity that we had was David's class party. The kids decorated ice cream cones that resembled Christmas trees. They also had a book exchange.
