Happy Holidays 2012

Christmas #4 (Lumpkins)

Since we spent Christmas with my family this year, we celebrated the following weekend with the Lumpkins!  Everyone came to our house & I made beef stew for dinner!  Afterwards we had dessert & opened gifts together!  Gary & Sharon were able to spend a few nights with us before heading home on New Years Day!

Christmas #3 (Dukes)

We were able to spend the 3 days following Christmas with my mom's family here in Ft Worth!  We get together every year, but this year was a smaller group.  It was still a wonderful time, and I was thrilled to spend time catching up with everyone who was there!

Christmas #2 (Guidry/Starnes) & SNOW

After opening presents on Christmas morning, we headed over to celebrate with my Dad's side of the family!  We enjoyed our traditional Christmas meal & opened presents!  A special treat... it started snowing while we were there!!

It was so fun to come home and see our house with snow on it (for the first time!)  Of course we changed & went outside to play!

All bundled up

Snowball fight!

When we got back inside, Austin & Gigi had a wig switch!  I could not stop laughing at Austin with that wig on!!

Christmas Morning! Ho Ho Ho!

Christmas day started early for us... we woke at 6am with storms and hail!  We finally got downstairs around 7am to see that Austin had been a very good boy this year- Santa was generous!!

A big wheel, books, puzzle, batman towel, & superhero toys!

Very excited to come downstairs and see what Santa brought him~

He rode that big wheel ALL OVER the house

Santa was hungry

 Playing with the guns that Austin bought "for Poppy"  :)

He loved the M&Ms on my present
