Christmas '08

Merry Christmas everyone! Did everyone enjoy all their gifts and the 5 pounds you gained? Or, is that just me?? We had a great Christmas---busy, busy! Every year, Jeremy and I think...."If it's this crazy with just us, imagine when we're toting around a kid??" We went to Dallas on the 23rd and went out to eat with Monty and Jen (bro and sis-in-law). That's our new thing: going out to eat with them instead of gifts....great idea!!!! We ate at Kenny's in Addison and it was fantastic. Then, on Christmas Eve we do tamales/tortilla soup at Patty and Duffy's with all of Jerm's family and then we head off to my parents' best friends, Jan and Glenn's for Cajun food. It's great to have such traditions on both sides of the family. THEN, on Christmas morning we headed off to Monty and Jen's at 8 am for Christmas with Jerm's family (and to watch Reece open his gifts...although you can tell from the pics that he liked the BOXES that the gifts came in!). Then, around 10:30, we went to my parents' house to open gifts and do a delicious brunch that mom made. Bryce was so cute opening gifts---this year you could tell that he knew what was going on...last year, he just kinda sat there! Then, we headed off to Jerm's aunt and uncle's house to do a Christmas dinner (which was so yummy!) and then finally back at Patty and Duffy's to spend the night. Whew!! The next couple of days, we hung out with our families and it was great to spend time with my grandmother who was in from Phoenix. We came back on Saturday and are still unpacking and catching up from the days gone. Although it's a little crazy, we are so thankful we can see both our families around Christmas!! Here are a few pics from the trip:
