This year we spent Christmas in Texas and it was so great to get back home and see family. My sister and her family came to Brad's parents house for a few days and it was awesome to see how much our nephew, Crew, has grown. We also took some time and visited my mom's side of the family in Dallas - it had been a long time since we had seen everyone.
We even got snow (and mostly ice) on Christmas Eve, which would have made for a wonderful white Christmas had we not decided to go to Church, change our minds and turn back around because of the weather and learned that there were too many cars that had slid off the road that the local police shut down any viable route back to Brad's parents house. We essentially were locked out of the neighborhood for several hours and ended up having our Christmas Eve dinner at a nice Italian restaurant that luckily was open!!
Finally, we learned that from this Christmas on, that everyone is more interested in the baby and that she will always get more presents than any of us!! We are so grateful for the time we had with everyone and hope that all of you had a blessed Christmas and New Year.
