The last two weeks of December we slept in four houses not including our own. We enjoyed lots of festivities with lots of family and friends.
Mom, Dad & Kathy came to Austin to celebrate Dad's birthday at Hula Hut, then Mozarts coffeehouse light show.
Then to Park Hill's Living Nativity with a petting zoo!
Another night we went to Zilker for the tree, and a Ferris Wheel.
Tingting and Summer joined up. We rode, spun, ate and walked.
Longhorn cheerleaders walked around while we were waiting.
Gloria was sleepy at 8 on the dot and it was a school night! Fortunately Daddy carried her back to the car.
We spent the weekend before Christmas in Beaumont with EVERYONE. Matt and Heidi were there for a visit, Christy and family came from Georgia and Catherine and family flew in from Russia. We played outside at the park, games in the backyard, ate a ton, went to church and had a chaotic opening present time. 9 adults & 10 kids!
Home for a few days before Christmas in Salado. Gloria wore the dress I wore at Jan & Glen's wedding as a flower girl. We enjoyed the Christmas Eve Candlelight service.
Bill and family came the day after and the kids played and acted out the Christmas story. Gloria was set on Silas being baby Jesus and he cooperated.
We visited Grandmama and sang her some songs.
Justin has family in San Saba and we were invited go to hunting and let the cousins have more time together. The first day was beautiful and we tramped through fields, shot guns beside a pond and enjoyed the sunshine. The next day was super cold, but Caleb and Lydia went out together and got a deer!
I was taken to Killeen so I could work on Wednesday and went to Austin with these clowns :) We saw the 3D Jerusalem at the Bob Bullock. Interesting movie and politics wasn't mentioned once!
Then we had a middle eastern feast at Arpeggios. Fun outing with adults!
For New Year's Eve, we partied like it is 2015. We counted down with King Julian on Netflix and toasted at 8:30!
