Cousin time

We had a great weekend in Houston! It has become a tradition to go to Breakfast with Santa each year and we all have a great time. We go to the club for a yummy breakfast buffet and have pictures taken with Santa. Abby didn't want to sit in his lap, but did talk to him and tell him that she wanted "baby doll stuff" for Christmas this year. ALL 13 of us got in a family pic with the ole guy. Can't wait to see that one! There was even some snow outside when we were leaving and the kids had fun playing in that.

The weekend worked out perfect for us because it is about our last weekend that I can travel....just in time for a little Christmas at Mimi's house! However, there is really nothing little about Christmas at Mimi's. She LOVES to decorate her whole house and the kids have a ball playing with all of the fun Christmas things she has out. Abby got to spend lots of time with her cousins and loved it. Each child opened a "sock" (instead of a stocking) from Mimi and Papa and the adults had a fun white elephant gift exchange as well. Crazy to think that next time we see these little faces another one will be added to the bunch.

We are just LOVING DECEMBER!!!!
