Christmas Update

We had a fabulous Christmas this year...and having Addison here made it that more special for us.  My mom (now known as Mae Mae) and Jim flew in on the 20th and were able to stay with us until the 29th.  It was so much fun to have them here and Addison loved every second of it! On Christmas Eve, we all headed to the candlelight service at church and then went out for a yummy dinner at Z Tejas.  Afterwards, we came home and all opened up one gift, put on our new PJs, and watched It's a Wonderful Life.  On Christmas morning, we all woke up pretty early to eat breakfast and open presents.  Let me just say that Addison is one spoiled little girl.  She was definitely the winner in the present contest this year.  She got so many fun toys and super cute clothes.  Needless to say, she is very easy to entertain with all her loot.  YaYa, PaPa, Great-MiMi, and Butch all came up on Christmas afternoon for an early dinner.  It was so much fun to have everyone over to the house!  Our Christmas celebration is still not over though.  In a couple of weeks, Jessica, Ernie, and Felicity will be flying in from Pittsburgh for Felicity's first visit to Texas.  We can't wait!
