Christmas in Dixie

We survived the holidays! I failed to blog about Thanksgiving, but it was a whirlwind. Four days, two kids and 1200 miles - a quick trip to Texas that was well worth it, but tiring.

So we were happy to stay in Mississippi for Christmas. C.J. had several days off of work so we enjoyed a relaxing and peaceful holiday full of family time in our new home. It was perfect.

Keeping the Merry in Christmas

Mom and Dad came for a visit from Waco. They brought lots of goodies for the kids and we went to church service, had dinner and opened presents with them the Sunday before Christmas.

They had better luck with their pic

Mmm...can I eat this?

Still not crawling or walking, but now he is speed scooting

Mom, can you help me fix my puzzle?

My parents headed back to Texas on Christmas Eve. After kicking the soccer ball around and playing a little baseball outside in some beautiful weather, we made a snowman.

My favorite kind, no snow required

  

Christmas morning was our family of five. It poured rain all day which was a perfect excuse to stay in our pajamas, play with toys, eat leftovers, drink egg nog, play a game of cards and watch Elf. What could be better?

No time for vanity, it's all about hugging these precious gifts

My book is pretty good, how's yours?

I like this one too

Giddy up, dino!

Trains are my favorite...trains are my favorite...trains are my favorite

 

Hey, don't forget me, it's my first Christmas!

We are hoping everyone enjoyed their holiday as much as we did and that the peace and joy of the season continue in 2013.
