Christmas Part 2- Good Friends

One of the main reasons we started our Christmas vacation early was to get to spend some time with our friends Aaron and Chelsea and meet their baby Whitley, whom we have never met. Aaron and Mikey are best friends from high school and were each other's best man in their weddings. Chelsea and I clicked instantly and have become good friends as well. They live in Alpine, far West Texas, and we dont get a chance to see them very often. When we found out that they would be in The Woodlands the weekend before Christmas to visit Aaron's mom we jumped at the chance to see them and finally meet Whitley. Can I just say she.is.precious.

Whitley was so sweet with Mikey. She just snuggled up against him and fell asleep.

Although there is a big age difference (at least at this stage) the girls played nicely together

Ava loved this car that Mrs. Burbach had at her house for the kids to play with. {hint to grandparents, this would be a great gift for Ava to play with at your house when we come to visit}

We are so glad that we finally got to meet this lil cutie!

Later on that day we also went to visit the Burkharts. It had been so long since Ava and Bekah had played with each other so we made sure to spend a few hours with them. Zack and Mikey have become such good friends too, they talk more on the phone with each other than Jenny and I do, so spending time with some of our best friends could not have been more enjoyable!

Always fashionable and accessorized Bekah was the perfect hostess along with her mommy and daddy.

She let me wear a pair of her sunglasses since Ava wasn't so much interested

Bekah's fun toys, like this rocking horse, was what she was after

It wasn't long before we were outside swinging in the backyard

And since being outside was so much fun we decided to take the girls on a wagon ride to the park.

The girls noticed all the Christmas decorations along the way and were actually much more excited about it than their faces show.

Sweet friends. They were so happy to play with each other.

You don't get any sweeter or greater a family than these three right here

The girls were laughing and smiling the entire time they were swinging beside each other

So the dads wanted to join in on the fun

When we got home we ate a delicious dinner that Jenny had prepared for us, on her Christmas plates and all!

And after dinner we thought we would squeeze in a quick bath before we had to leave. Can you tell these two were a little anxious for bathtime?

Splishin and splashin in the tub!

Thanks Burbachs and Burkharts for letting us be part of your day!! We enjoyed our visits with each of you!
