A Very Merry Christmas - Part 1

We have had a very merry Christmas! It was wonderful to spend time with our families! We began our Christmas journeys by heading to DFW to pick up my brother and sister-in-law, Zach and Alison. It has become a tradition for us to pick them up, stop at Whataburger for some taquitos, and come to Stephenville to spend the night before going west. We loaded the car full of our suitcases and presents and their suitcases. It was so full that you could not see out the back of the car. We stopped in Abilene and my dad and mom picked up Zach and Alison, and we stayed in Abilene for Christmas Eve with Joey's family.

Christmas Eve with Joey's family was filled with fun games and good food. We also made a trip to Christmas Lane to look at lights. Then when it came time to open presents we had the traditional Christmas carolling. Everyone picks a Christmas carol to sing and we all sing them before opening presents. After we opened present Cody, Jaden, and Jaxon enjoyed playing with their new games and toys.

Here's a slideshow of Christmas Eve:
