Christmas Time!

We just returned from a FANTASTIC week with family in Texas! There are SOOO many pictures and I would love to share them all with you but it just isn't feasible so I have to limit it to the highlights!
Most of the pictures - still not all - are posted on my Facebook account and will be on my MySpace tonight as well.



So here's how it went: Saturday Dec 20 - Drove 18 hours straight to Dallas!!! Arrived at midnight.
Sunday Dec 21 - Got up and were able to visit our old church in Lewisville - Northview Baptist Church - we saw lots of old friends, wonderful time of worship. Sunday afternoon was spent playing games and hanging out with family and friends.


Monday Dec 22 - Slept in!!! Then did a tad last minute shopping at Grapevine. Monday night we went to Medevil Times in Dallas. It is like a Dinner Theater where you eat while you watch the Knights fight. Our Knight was the Green Knight (he was the bad guy) so we had to cheer LOUD for him! The kids really enjoyed this. Wonderful experience!





It was really an awesome thing to see it all in motion! Highly recommend this if you ever have the chance.






Tuesday Dec 23 - More shopping, we ate at Rainforest Cafe, and then the guys and Hannah went to watch the Dallas Mavericks play Memphis. They really had a great time and the kids were all excited that the Mavs won!!! It was great to have the means and the time to let the kids experience some events that we normally wouldn't get to do.



Wednesday Dec 24 - was spent at my sister's house relaxing and playing games. That evening instead of a Christmas Eve service at church, we had a family concert and the kids acted out the Christmas Story. Tyler made a great Baby Jesus!


Christmas Day - Was a wonderful time of worship and celebration with the family. My parents, My sister Michelle, her husband Scott, their three kids Daxton, Devin, Ellisyn, My aunt Pat, Uncle John, Cousins Robbie and Katie and then our family were all together. We really enjoyed the time together. The kids got a lot of fun things as did the adults but the best was just playing games and hanging out together!









Friday Dec 26 - Shopping Day - kids all had money burning a hole in their pocket and the opportunity to shop at BIG malls was too irresistable! In the afternoon, we had family picture time. It was fun to coordinate clothes and take pictures at the park!














Saturday Dec 27 - Another long day of traveling back to Colorado. However, one advantage to having both my sister and Joel's sister live in Texas is that we often get to see both families when we travel there. So we met Joel's sister Jana and her family at McDonalds in Amarillo for lunch. We decided that everyone needs pictures taken at McDonalds - right?





Sunday Dec 28 - We got our first good look at all the snow we had been reading and hearing about all week at home.....
