My what a busy last month we have had. Jamie and Becky arrived in Texas in shifts. December 20th, Becky flew down with the two youngest, and Jamie drove their van with the two oldest. Due to lack of beds, we set up a room full of cots for the children, and Jamie and Becky in the Guest bedroom with a port-a crib for Ady. The cots have been a hit, and kids love them and sleep like troopers for us. Jamie returned to Virginia after they found a house, to help tie up loose ends, and be there when their moving van was loaded. Becky stayed here got the children enrolled in school, and has been holding down the fort while Jamie is away. Rick and I have had a relatively quiet existence, change into a bustling house full of little bodies. It has been fun and intense at times, only because we Rick and I are sick. I have strep, and Rick a cold, but this too shall pass.
Any way, Christmas was fun. Cousins are thrilled to be back together. Plenty of play and fun. Pappasitoes was decided upon for Christmas eve dinner. Kids were good, food was good, and it was so nice not to clean up a big mess. Then it was off to our house for dessert, nativity puppet show, and Christmas PJ pictures.
Pappasitos

Bri and Jarod hosted Christmas Dinner. we had a great meal, and the kids played some more.
Celebrated Brianne's Birthday on the thirtieth, at Pappasitoes, with a few friends and SILs. I still owe Brianne a Birthday gift.
New Years Eve
Had a great night roasting hot dogs, smores, around the fire pit and our annual fireworks exhibit. Fire works were beautiful, loved the kids oohs and awes.
It was a wonderful Christmas season, we had a great time, hope ya'll had one too.
