We headed to Houston on Sunday to start our celebrations down there for the next 4 days. It went really quick but we were able to visit a lot of people. We went to the Funkhouser, had dinner with Deann and Dwayne and met Dana for lunch on Monday. We even got to go to the movies on Monday night without the kiddos. We spent most of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at my parents hanging out. Mom has mistletoe hanging when you walk in the backdoor, and Toby stole a kiss with Palin under it.
We opened presents on Christmas eve from my parents to the kiddos and to Toby. Toby got gun reloading gadgets, so Dad and him spent the afternoon on Christmas eve playing with his new toys!
The kids tracked Santa off and on all day on the computer. They kept having Papa pull up where Santa was. Once we knew that Santa was close they ran and got in their Christmas PJ's to be ready when Santa arrived.
Annual tradition mom buys them both gingerbread houses to make and decorate with her every year. The made them on Monday.
Christmas eve as always we had to make sugar cookies and decorate them so Santa had fresh cookies to eat when he came. Cash also insisted that we have carrots for the reindeer, so off to HEB we went with everyone in Houston! It was a zoo. But we did get the carrots for the reindeer.
I love how Cash spelled Raindeer, on the note that he left for Santa. The kids got tablets from my parents for Christmas. They loved them and spent time that evening playing them.
Santa brought Palin a bike! Its what she wanted, but she was unsure about riding it. She was not sold on the idea. We had a good trip to Houston for Christmas, as always the holidays go too fast!
