We started out the holiday in Austin. My parents and John came in for the weekend and we enjoyed some holiday fun and cookie baking! Crew went down for a nap late that Sunday afternoon and when he woke up Santa had come! His big toy from Santa this year was a table and chair set and he loved it! He kept moving from one chair to another sitting in each one, ha!
Brett's papaw passed away so we headed to Dallas a few days earlier than planned. Brett gave a very heartfelt eulogy at the funeral, and we enjoyed time with the Carson side of the family afterwards. We had our family Christmas with Brett's mom and her side of the family on Christmas Eve.
On Christmas day we headed to Katy and spent a few days there celebrating with all the Lattal's. We enjoyed celebrating our blessings with our family. Oh what a joyous time of year it is! I kept trying to explain to Crew the meaning of the season, we played with our nativities , read our bible stories, but I know he doesn't quite get it yet.... I pray for the day he does! I think he was a little confused about all the presents, but he did like the bags, wrapping paper, and especially all the tags. Christmas is so much fun with a child! Tis the Season!
P.S.- Two of my good friends got engaged over the break and we could not be happier for them! Congrats Jordan & Brian and Valerie & Fredrik! Can't wait to celebrate on your big day!

Christmas in Springtown with the Carsons
Brett's cousins from Idaho
Christmas Eve at "The Ridge" with Grancie,
and with the Duncan side of the Family
Grancie (my mother in law) always has a theme for Christmas.
This year it was elves- all her tags were elves, and she had little elves hidden around her
house. She also found an elf outfit that Crew wore as we handed out gifts on Christmas Eve.
Remote control cars are funny!
