What a trip the last few weeks have been! We have been super busy making lasting memories and starting new traditions. This past weekend we headed to see Doug's side of the family in East Texas. We spent Saturday with Granddad and Grandmama, along with Doug's two brothers and my sister-in-laws and all of the grandkids. The children just loved getting to be with everyone.

You know you are a good friend of McCade's when he calls everyone your name (Kaden)...I kept having to tell him to use the correct name for his cousins:). Everyone else wanted to hear who this Kaden guy was:).

Our Christmas Eve was wonderful. We headed to service and then over to my Uncle Ty's and Aunt Rebecca's. Dinner was fabulous! After we brought the children home and got them to bed. The Claus' were fast and furiously busy working out all the details for the following morning.

Christmas Day was so much fun with little ones. The children awoke around 9:30am and got busy working on all of their gifts. Santa was so good this year. My parents and brother were here to celebrate and play with the kids.

We ended the day at my Aunt Brenda's and Uncle Chips house. All of my family was there. It was just so wonderful to be around family!!!
