We had 3 Christmases this year. Whew! It was so wonderful spending time with family and relaxing! The kids are at such a great age too - Jackson really got in to setting cookies & milk & carrots out for Santa & Rudolph. It was way cute!
Santa came!
Emme's kitchen was a hit with BOTH kids!
Jackson got this huge dinosaur from my aunt & uncle. He loves it!
After Christmas morning at our house, we set off for Christmas #2 at my parents' house. We had a lovely breakfast there and Santa had come to see all of us there also. I love that I'm 30 years old and Santa still watches to see if I've been a good girl and comes to see me! Santa is a wonderful man! Emme wore her pretty Christmas dress, but we didn't want her to get it dirty at breakfast so off it came. She ran around for much of the morning in only her tights & shoes.
Santa brought Emme a stroller & a doll. This little momma walked her baby all over the house all morning. It was so stinkin' cute! 
Yaya -rides! What more could a kid ask for in a Yaya?
Jackson sporting his new construction gear from Uncle Clay
Poor Emme was too excited (overstimulated) to sleep, but desparately needed to.Sunday we were off to LaPorte for Christmas #3 at Gabby & PaPa's!
We told Emme her shoes were stinky (and they are....they really, really are), so she smelled them. Silly girl!
Jackson LOVES Dinosaur Train!
Aaron had to "unlock" his gift card - it took him a while!
Cool map thingy from Bryan & Candace
I love how she hold shirts up to herself already! Such a girl!
New Year's Eve, we had Christmas #4 with my brother, Brennan & his fiance, Megan. They had been in Hawaii with Megan's family for Christmas so we celebrated 2 holidays in one with them! Megan's roommate, Adriana came too so she wouldn't be by herself in San Antonio over New Years! She was a super fun girl!
Pretty new princess tiara! Emme loves wearing this!
Brennan & Megan gave Jackson a volcano that erupts to reveal a dinosaur that then grows over the next 3 days. This was right up Jackson's alley & by far his favorite gift!
Ukulele from Hawaii
Megan was raised Jehovah's Witness, so this was her 1st Christmas!Jackson & Emerson gave her Sleeping Beauty on DVD. She & Adriana were really excited!
My parents gave Brennan & Megan the "Promise" Willow Tree figure for their engagement & upcoming marriage. So excited for September!After "Christmas" & dinner, the kids went down and it was New Years' Eve time! We all stayed at my parents, even though we live 5 minutes from them. It was me, Aaron, Jackson, Emerson, Brennan, Megan, Adriana, my uncle, & my Nana and of course, my parents - 9 adults & 2 kids. Sardines! No, actually there was plenty of room and it was so much fun! We played Farkle, ate tons, drank 11 bottles of champagne, watched the count down shows and just enjoyed each others' company!
Clay & Mom - how many bottle was this after? Notice the backwards tiara. LOVE it!
Brennan & Megan
Adriana & Nana - Farkling it up!
I have no idea what he is doing here!
My Momma & Daddy
Happy New Year!
Adriana farkled almost every single time, but ended up only finishing like 300 points behind me. I was terrible too! 
This is how Boogies spent his time....
New Years' morning:
Coffee with Nana
Couldn't have picked a better aunt for Jackson & Emme! We love you, Megan!Whew! Finally got all of that done. Sorry it took me so long to post. We genuinely hope all of you & your families had a great holiday & have a blessed New Year!
