Christmas Celebrations

We had the most wonderful time in Amarillo celebrating the birth of our Lord with all of our families.  We were able to stay there for over a week and really tried to soak in every moment with each family member!  This Christmas was such a fun experience with Jude really beginning to "get" what Christmas is all about.  He had a BLAST to say the least!!  He still doesn't fully understand it all, but learning to see these moments through the eyes of your child brings more joy to my heart than I could ever imagine. Here is a glimpse into our week!!

The best bath EVER with  our friends Owen and Olivia

Pops set up a golf range in the garage with his first set of REAL clubs!!
