I know, I know we are half way through February and I am just now getting our Christmas blog out! Can I claim the "we have a lot going on right now" argument? :)
As I was looking through the pictures to post I am reminded of what a wonderful Christmas season we had! It was jam packed full of traditions, fun events and family!
Our season started off by cutting down our Christmas tree. It is so fun as Abram is getting older to see his excitement and understanding of what we are doing. He gets so happy when when we get in the car and tell him where we are going. He just can't contain himself!

| Papa and Abram with our tree!! |
 |
| Standing infront of the biggest tree on the lot... it was huge! |
 |
| Abe loves to find these cut outs... now that he knows what we are doing, he wants to put his face in all of them! |
 |
| Running through the trees to find our perfect tree. |
 |
| Loading up our tree to take home! |
A super fun event that our town does every year is to fly Santa in by helicopter. It was a beautiful day, but I must admit Abram was more excited to see the helicopter than Santa (which is okay with me)!

Also, we attended an event called "Streets of Bethlehem." The members of the church and community were apart of a live nativity seen and acted out the events leading up to Jesus' birth. Abram could hardly wait to see "Baby Jesus." It was so sweet!
Then we flew to Louisiana for Christmas! It is always fun to see my niece and nephew (Cade and Ella) with Abram. They have a blast together!

| My mom's mantle at her house... I love that she gave the twins two little stockings! :) |

 |
| Of course a cousins picture with the snowmen! |
 |
| They just love each other! |
The highlight of our trip was our time at Great Wolf Lodge. My parents treated the grandkids to an overnight stay at this amazing hotel in Dallas that has the best waterpark inside. Perfect to do when it is freezing outside and it was all decorated for Christmas! Now Abe thinks that every hotel we stay in will have a water park. :( But we all had an amazing time!
 |
| I just love these two!! They have my heart! |
 |
| At night the "snow" would fall inside the hotel. Abe couldn't believe it! |
 |
| With Abe in the wave pool. He did great! He kept calling himself a "scuba diver." |
 |
| He was worn out!! |
 |
| We had such a wonderful time! Thank you Gram and Granddaddy for this amazing gift! |
 |
I had to include this picture.... Julie and I laughed so hard when we realized (at the pool) that we had the same swimsuits! I guess sisters really do think alike! :)
We had an amazing Christmas season! Crazy to think that next Christmas we will have two more baby boys joining us!!
