New Year's Eve

Oh man what a fun Christmas! I should have taken a picture of our car all full of Christmas present goodies but I forgot. It was packed! Good thing Jude has a car seat or he wouldn't have had room to sit. I'm so thankful for the time we got to spend with family. We also got to visit some friends we don't get to see normally. On Monday we went and say Blue, Roselyn and Grace. Jude enjoyed playing with her. 

On Tuesday we saw Brittnay and Casey and Maddie and Zach on our way to Van Alstine for New Years Eve. Callie's parents live up there so we got to see her and Drew and all the King family. 

What a game the Aggies played! Ryan was thrilled to say the least! It was so funny watching everyone get so excited. Jude went to sleep before the game ended and was in bed and I am very surprised he did not wake up. 

We woke him up at midnight so bring in the new year. He was so confused but just looked around. We played ping pong and he watched us for a little while. I am not a very good ping pong player so Ryan a do lost both games we played so did not advance in the tournament. 

Wednesday we went to the Cotton Bowl in Dallas to watch Derek play and being North Texas to victory in the Heart of Dallas Bowl. He was named MVP and we are so proud of him!

Back to the unpacking thing. Man our house was/is wreck. 

It doesn't help that I have a little munchkin running around unloading everything after I put it up. It's okay though he's having fun and giggling so it makes me laugh. 

Christmas in Granbury

We were busy busy this weekend celebrating at Gigi and papas. We started praying Friday night with the immediate Parsons family- Gigi papa Chelsea Brent Brady and Kylee. Jude and Brady got so many fun presents and toys! They both got a Mickey Mouse chair. So now Jude has two! Hehe got to love everyone shopping at kohls for Christmas gifts. It's just such a cute chair who can pass it up! They also got a train set that they love! We opened Brady's up and they both had a blast playing with it. It was so fun to watch Brady and Jude play together. They are going to be such great pals! They were running around the island in the kitchen giggling and chasing after each other. Then papa dressed up like Santa. It was a great night!

Saturday we woke up and started getting ready for Rustys side of the family to get here. We prepared a memory book to give to Maw Maw that she really enjoyed. 

Sunday was with the Mullins family. Sheila is such a great hostess and had everything so nice each party. Sooo much yummy food and a lot of fun! We even played a game where you had to open up a present while having oven nits on. It was so funny! 

Christmas at home

Christmas Eve Gigi and Daddy John came to spend the night. We made grilled pork chops and went to church.

 One of Ryan's friends from work came over and joined us. Christmas morning we woke up and Santa had come! Wrote Jude a letter and everything!! Jude is special! :-) Jude's favorite toy was a toy that you hit the balls in the hole with a hammer that Santa gave him. Juders had a fu morning! 

Christmas in Southlake

Most of my pictures are on the actual camera. I didn't take many on my phone but here are a few. We got so many presents and are so blessed in so many ways! We played spades and ate lots of food. Katie had very bad luck while we played games and everyone who was her partner was so confident the would win... But they lost. :-( it was fun though and I was impressed with how she handled herself with each loss. We are all growing up. Clark played with us a couple of hands and it was really fun! I love my sweet family! 

On Thursday night we went to eat at On The Border and the. Were going to go to Prairie Lights but the line was rediculous. So instead we drove around Southlake. We saw some beautiful lights and some inspiration for next year. This year we didn't really decorate :-( but next year.. We will!!

Friday morning we woke up and got ready to take a McCoy family photo. They turned out so good!
