We had a wonderful and busy holiday season this year (be prepared for a picture overload!)

My parents were able to drive, yes drive, all the way from Idaho to visit us for the holidays!!
Our fun started with a trip to downtown Grapevine, TX:




We all spent Christmas Day at Megan and Annemarie's house in San Antonio.
Here is MJ finding the Christmas pickle (a tradition carried on from DJ's side of the family):

Mr. Potato Head family. A HUGE hit:

Christmas dinner:

Doin' some pull-ups with Megan:

The following day we went to La Mision Concepcion in San Antonio. It was built in the 1700's.

We even attended a tiny part of a Christmas Mass there:



MJ LOVES Megan and Annemarie's dogs:

In this pic SJ truly looks like he is mounting Starbuck:

MJ had such a great time playing with Nana and Granddaddy while they were here. Right after they left MJ turned to me and said, "Now who am I going to play with Mama?"

We really appreciated that my parents were able to drive down and spend this special holiday season with us. Thank you also for all the wonderful gifts. We also really appreciate Megan and Annemarie for letting us spend Christmas at their house and for coming to our house for New Years! We had a great time!
