Our Very Own Christmas!!

We were able to spend Christmas alone as our own family on Christmas morning and afternoon. There is something so special about waking up with our sweet girls & their excitement as to what they saw under the tree. The look in their eyes were priceless!!! I have never seen 2 people more excited about chap stick & apple jack cereal then these 2 girls were. Oh the Simplicity! After we were done with opening gifts I made biscuits & gravy & boy were they YUMMY! Before I forget, I also received the best Christmas gift ever. Johnathan bought me a Cannon XSI camera I have been wanting! He gave it to me the Tuesday before Christmas so that I could really enjoy it on Christmas Day. I will never be able to say how thankful I am for my husband & how much he loves me & the girls!! Thank you for such a wonderful Christmas Johnathan, I love you!! Enjoy our pictures!

Christmas with Grandma, Grandpa, & Granna

After the girls naps we went over to Johnathan's grandma & grandpa's house to visit a little while before heading over to Johnathan's mom's house to celebrate with her, Jennifer, & Dustin. We had such a wonderful time! Donna cooked chicken tetrazini for dinner & it just hit the spot! We then watched a little bit of "House" (which was on all day which made me very happy!!) then opened gifts. We were truly blessed by everything we were given. Enjoy the pictures!

Christmas with Pops

We went out to dinner with Johnathan's dad on Christmas Eve. Jennifer (Johnathan's sister) suggested that we go to a new place in town called Las Brisas & I have to say that it is the best place in town to get a steak! If you have ever been to a restaurant called Ruth's Chris it is very comparable!! Our good friends Shane & Robin Farris joined us for dinner too. What a wonderful way to spend Christmas Eve! Enjoy the pictures!

Christmas with Gran & Gramps

Johanthan's grandparents came in from Plano this year (actually last year) to celebrate Christmas a little early. We all got together at Johnathan's Aunt Linda's house on Dec. 23rd. We had such a fun time!! We played a game where Gran read "Twas the Night Before Christmas" & we passed gifts around in a circle each time she said the word "the". The girls LOVED it!! Thank you so much for a wonderful early Christmas everyone!
