Christmas Post

Ok, so this is a little late.  I still have more Christmas pics to post, but this is the first batch.  Please forgive the lateness of them but we have been very ill with ear infections, strep throat (twice) and the flu.  Yikes.  But God is good and gave us the strength to endure and for now we are well.  

We went down to Houston for the Christmas holiday.  First we saw the Osterberg side of the family.  We did a little shopping...

 ...and had some yummy meals together.

 On Christmas Eve we went over to Aunt Rhonwyn and Uncle Buddy's house.  It was a very special year because all the cousins and their kids could come!  Well, we were missing the SouthLake Osterbergs...but still, this is the most family we have had together in a while.  The kids all had a great time playing together.  It was so sweet to see them making friends!

 Peter and Calynn especially hit it off.  :)

 Here is the gang!  We had a PJ party 'for the kids'.  :)  But I think most of the adults had a great time with the excuse to wear pjs too.  Haha!

 Christmas morning we opened presents with Brent's parents and the Davis family.  Jane is finally understanding the concept of ripping the paper and the boys always have such energetic reactions.  It was so fun to watch them!

 Justin got a pair of Hulk Hands....these were very high on his list; he was very pleased!

 It was Bryce's first Christmas!  What a sweet little blessing he is.  We enjoyed seeing him walk around and clap his hands. :)  Such wonderful memories!

 Peter and Justin still in pjs before we changed to go to Gramma's house.  (More on that soon)

We are so thankful for Doug and Nancy!  God has blessed us with a family that reflects His own love.
