How we spent Christmas...

On Monday, the 22nd, we set out for Houston....we try to make it a habit to stop at the Czech Kolache Depot in Ennis....mmmmmm.

When we left, it was very early so Peter just stayed in jammies.

We spent Monday through Wednesday with the Osterbergs. We loved getting to know Chrystal more and meeting little baby Calynn. :) L - R: Doug, Tyler, Chrystal, and Heath

On Christmas Eve we all gathered as usual to share what God has done in our lives over the past year and to sing and pray together. L-R: Gramma, Courtney, Marty and Buddy

We also sang the "Twelve Days of Christmas" with everyone singing a solo...always a laugh!

L - R: Elizabeth, Nancy, Keri & Calynn, Brent, and Rhonwyn.

Peter received the coolest vacuum cleaner from Aunt Rhonwyn and Uncle Buddy...he's still playing with it!

Peter loves to give kisses! Awww!

Aunt Corutney is helping Peter open his stocking from Nana and Pa.

Doug put Peter's fire hat over Courtney's head......

.....he sure thought he was funny! :)

On Christmas Day we went over to my Aunt Diane and Uncle Larry's house. The Aragons (my cousin) were there too. The kids had a great time playing outside. Here is Peter with Simeon and Moriah.

Peter got to help with our tradition of making Christmas cookies! My mom made him a little apron with his name on it and everything...so cute!

My cousin Sara is expecting baby #4 in early January and our baby #2 will come in July!

Peter and Grandma...he is trying to show off his new boots, but Harvey walked in the way...oh well!

Peter really got into the present opening this year...he liked to put the bows on his head...silly boy!

The Butchers! Peter was all about his Auntie Jessica...he wouldn't smile at the camera, but he would smile at her!

My parents have passes to Moody Gardens and we went down there to see the aquarium. This has to be one of my most favorite places on Earth!

In the aquarium tunnel...so cool!

While in Galveston, we had to stop and see the water!
