Wonderful Christmas Day

We had a wonderful Christmas! We opened some presents in the morning. Thomas actually let us sleep til 5:30AM! He had a great time distributing the presents to Dad and Me and himself.

Then we had to go feed the cows since it was a little chilly. Thomas and Daddy filled the buckets with cotton seed and brought it to the troughs. The cows were very greatful for the food and even let us scratch their heads a bit. I got some wonderful photos of some of the calfs.

We got cleaned up and headed into Corpus for brunch at Courtney's. We visited with Tom's brother and his family and my mother-in-law. It was fun watching Kaiden play with his Christmas toys. He got a 4-wheeler just like Uncle Troy's and had a great time comparing the two.

Then we went over to my sister's house to visit with them and my Mom.

All in all, it was a wonderful day spent with loved ones. Just how Christmas should be.

Merry Christmas Eve!

Well, it's Christmas Eve. The shopping's been done. Almost all the presents have been wrapped and are under the tree. I have a day off from work to get ready for tomorrow.

December has been a busy month. Thomas' school put on a Christmas program at the three churches in Corpus Christi and each week was better than the first. I'll post some photos later. Thomas had a few solo parts on his coronet and did very well.

Mom has come to Texas for the winter and we will enjoy having her here this holiday season. We have to share her with my sister and her family but I get to see her every day which is nice.

We had a cold front come in last night or early this morning so it is cool today and feels a little more like Christmas than the 70 degree weather we had yesterday.

Tomorrow will be spent with my husband's family for Christmas brunch and then we will go to my sister's for Christmas dinner. This is the first year that we haven't had everyone just come to our house. I don't know which is more stressful.

Well, there are a few things I need to get done today so I best get started. Merry Christmas to everyone!
