Part 3 & 4 of our 4 Christmases

This year we spent Christmas with Mikey's family in The Woodlands and Beaumont. I got the chance to see my mom and dad briefly and exchange gifts with them in San Antonio (Christmas part 1 and 2) so I saw lots of family this Christmas which I love. We spent several nights in The Woodlands to visit with Mikey's dad and stepmom, Grammie and Papa are the names they have chosen to be called by Ava, and then we met Mikey's mom, stepdad, and brother in Conroe to stay for a night before heading to their home in Beaumont. As always we crammed a lot of visits with friends into our trip as well. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

Christmas Eve service with Lauren and Jim (Mikey's dad and stepmom)


On Christmas eve, our friend Tim proposed to his girlfriend Taryn and he wanted us to be there to be apart of it. They make such a cute couple. Congratulations Tim and Taryn!


Mikey helping his dad fry a turkey for our Christmas meal. Need I say more?


Macy got her own plate of yummy food on Christmas day. She was a happy girl!


Our friends Ryan and Paige were in town from Minnesota so we met up with them for lunch before they headed back. They had lots of good news to share!!!! They are moving to San Antonio AND they are going to have a baby! Ava will have another best friend come July! Congratulations R & P, we couldn't be happier!

They move back in about a month so there will be many more group shots like this to come!! Yay!


Stepdad Ben, Mikey, and his brother Jim warming up by the fire at Bentwater Country Club in Conroe. These crazy guys played a full round of golf in drizzle and 40 degree weather!


My snuggly puppy! I think her and I put on about 5 pounds with all the eating and resting we did.


I wasn't the best at taking pictures on the trip. I missed some great moments with all of our friends at dinner, including James and Char who were in town, and our fun times with Mikey's mom and stepdad in Beaumont. :(

This was our last Christmas without little Ava! I am sure next Christmas I will be MUCH better with the picture taking!
