And Christmas #4 - DONE!

This evening we celebrated our final Christmas at my parents house. We opened presents, ate delicious steaks, drank wine and enjoyed family! It was a very relaxing evening, and once again Will got tons of new stuff ~ clothes, toys, and chocolate from Poppy!

Christmas #3 - SANTA!!!

This morning we woke up and discovered what Santa had left! Will got an electric (toddler sized) Diego 4 wheeler! So far he is not too sure of it - I am sure it wont be long! We were lucky enough that all4 of Will's grandparent's and Nonnie and Poppy (his great-grandparents) were here to share in this fun exprience this morning! He also opened presents from Mommy & Daddy, and rediscovered toys he opened yesterday. Then we had a big breakfast, and everyone else headed home. What a fun morning! Now we are all relaxing and will go to YaYa and Pa's house later ... tomorrow Christmas #4 with my parents, grandparents, Aunt Amy, Uncle Josh and Miler! What a week!

Christmas #2

We spent Christmas Eve in Baytown celebrating all day ... literally! We went from Uncle Curtis & Aunt Lori's with the Hackfeld family (that would be Patick's Mom's side of the family), then Will, Patrick and I headed over to see Granny and Papaw (Patrick's Dad' parents) and then on to celebrate with our immediate family. It was a long day but our boy was a trooper! Practically NO nap and he was still cheerful all day! He really cleaned up too - clothes, toys, you name it, he got it.

Christmas #1

Yesterday we celebrated our first of 4 (yes, 4!) Christmases! We loaded up with YaYa and Pa and headed to Pasadena to celebrate with the Williams family - our families are all growing and we now have to celebrate ahead of time so we can all fit everything in! Here are some pictures of Will (and you can see Miler opening his presents too!) Next year Jarrett will be here to celebrate the holidays - he will be here anyday!

Dining Diva's Christmas

Tonight was our FIRST annual Dining Diva's Christmas Party!! My 3 very best friends from college came over tonight and we had such a great time! We had Jen and Brandon, Emily and Matt (and we LOVE Matt by the way! he is wonderful for Emily!) and Jules over! We ate great food, drank good wine and had a fantastic time catching up! Will went over to Nonnie and Poppy's for a while, but came back towards the end of the evening and was a trip!!! He went up to all the girls (and only the girls) and would grab their hand and say "PULL!" and pull them into his playroom. SO funny!

**He also counted to 10 today - first time Patrick and I both heard it together! It was crazy. He was hitting his baseball tee and counting each time - SO FUN!!**



Will would NOT let me hold him ....

Pulling Jennifer...

...and in the playroom!

And with Auntie Jules!


I am so thankful to have the friends I do! We can go months without seeing one another and catch up like it was yesterday! I love you girls, and am so happy to have each of you in my life! Thank you for a WONDERFUL evening!!!!!!!!!!!!
