A Christmas Hodge-Podge

We had a wonderfully blessed Christmas this year! I have to admit that I wasn't very good about carrying around my camera at all times, so these pictures are just from here and there. Our Christmas began in McKinney where we opened presents with Violet before we left (so we wouldn't have to travel back and forth with them), then on to Grandma and Grandpa's house in Waxahachie on the 22nd, then on to Harlingen for Christmas Eve and New Years with Nonny and Pops. It was a wonderful holiday and we enjoyed spending time with lots of family and friends. May you all be blessed abundantly in 2010!!

Our tree in McKinney... presents labeled big, so Miss V could hand them out :)

Fun with her new tea set in Nonny's kitchen! Can you believe that was my little tray when I was her age!!

Before heading back to McKinney we decided to take a few pictures in the front yard with Jack and Jonas.

Nonny and Violet playing. V loves when Nonny swings her :)

Will's turn to swing Violet. They get along so well... it's a blessing to watch!

...and don't worry, Baby was involved in all the activity :) Here is our latest belly shot at 20 weeks!
