Christmas

Our Christmas celebrating began on Dec. 13 when my mom hosted Christmas for her side of the family. The day was filled with presents, laughter, and food.

Then on Dec. 23rd my mom and dad had Christmas for me, my sister, and Charles. Again there was presents, laughter and more food. The pups even got a present of their own. The bone would later make Bailey sick. She threw up until she got every last piece out of her system. She's fine now, thank goodness.

On the 25th we were off to Longview with the dogs. It probably took about 4 hours to get there. When we got there we got to visit with some of Charles relatives; Aunt Gail, Uncle Jack, Granny, Johnny, and Brent and his family. The children were very excited to play with the dogs. Oh, before our trip we had to head to Pet Smart to pick up a new little "house" for the dogs. We call it a house but in reality its more like a cage, well crate I guess. We needed one for them at his aunts house. They seem to love it. I have even caught them inside it when they don't even need to be in it.

For the first time in a long time I was unable to make it to my dad's side of the family's Christmas. I wasn't able to be in 2 places at once so we had to choose. It makes it a little difficult but we survived. Thank you everyone for all the wonderful gifts.

On the 27th, Charles' mom and brother came to Round Rock for a visit as well. I got to see some old videos of him growing up. Too Cute!

All in all, our first Christmas as a married couple wasn't too bad. It seems as though Charles and I are out growing our apartment. We are running out of space for all of our junk. Maybe it's house hunting time. :)

I am usually pretty good about taking pictures, but this time I only have a few. Next year I'll be better. I promise.
