Holiday in Houston

Since I worked Christmas Eve we werent able to head to houston until Chirstmas morning. I headed home from work packed the car, grabbed the Hubby and headed to Crystals house for some Santa time with Ty and Parker. We actually made it to her house before Ty was up so we got to experince his reaction to the Santa spread. My sis did an amazing job....biting into all the cookies and even had carrots out for the raindeer...TOO cute! It was so neat to see his little face light up when he saw ALL the present that Santa brought. It definitely brought back memories from my childhood. Between my parents and grandparents the presents were never ending!!!

Driving to houston went pretty smoothly...Crystal and the boys in the lead and john and i close behind. We headed straight to Papa's house and met up with some of my cousins, aunts, uncles, my mom and papa. We did the Christmas thing with them and ate yummy prime rib, mashed potatoes, and green bean bundles!! Oh, and pies...how could i forget the pies.....my mom is always on top of that making sure that everyone has the pie they want even if that means having 15 pies....so fun!!

Great pic of the girl cousins....just pretend Ty isnt smack dab in the middle diggin for gold =)...CLASSIC!!

This was my first time to meet Paisley...she is sooo sweet and her and ty had so much fun playing

....even banging on the piano...ENCORE!!!!

Sorry Papa =)

Even Parker was getting down to the jams =)

Later that night we headed to Johns mom and step dads house. As we pulled up this is what we saw......

Wow....talk about getting in the Christmas spirit....how could you not!!

I always feel so welcome at their house, they always have our favorite drinks waiting in the fridge and the guest room all made up for us. Its always so chill there...we have so much fun just hanging out and catching up!

The next day we headed over to Johns sister's house and had Christmas with them. This was our first time at her new house, it was so pretty! Our neices got Rock Band for Christmas, Hubby was in heaven!! He spend the good part of the time jammin with the girls. I have to say he had some mad skills =) We opened our presents from his parents. WE GOT A WII!!!! John and I are so excited....he was like a little kid on Christmas morning.








The next day we spent some more time with my family and then off to have Christmas with my dad, brother and his family. We dont get to see my brother and his family very often so it was great to catch up with them too....so much catching I didnt take but one picture and it didnt even turn out good!!

Sunday was my moms birthday so we had lunch with all the family to celebrate. As always it was great just sitting around visiting with everyone. After lunch it was time to head home. =(



It was a jam packed couple of days but soooo much fun....I wouldnt have had it ANY other way!
