Christmas Part II - A Scott Christmas

Mom and Dad came for Christmas this year, but my brother and sister spent the holidays with their in-law's families. It was a really great Christmas, although we missed the rest of the family. My parents flew in from Houston on Christmas Eve and that was really fun. We went to Christmas Eve service at our church and they had it on the town square which was really fun because afterward we walked straight out to the square downtown and it was all lit up with a million Christmas lights, christmas music, horse drawn carriage rides, camel rides, and a miniature horse carousel for children. It was like being in a movie! Here are some of the pictures from Christmas eve...roll 'em...






My dad brought the boys these eye glasses he got from a work conference. The boys loved them and I even found Carson using it in his room late on Christmas eve after he had been tucked in to bed. He said he was looking for Santa!

Santa came!



Mimi, Carson, and Callahan going through their stockings and santa stuff.

Here's Carson giving me a big kiss when I opened the first present of Christmas. It was an ornament with a picture of him from Kindergarten and a bracelet he made me at school. He was sooo excited to give me my present that he was jumping up and down. He had brought him home a week before Christmas and it was all he could do to not totally tell me what it was, although he let a few helpful hints slip. He talked about it everyday and asked if I was excited about opening it. I loved it and it was the best Christmas present ever!

Thanks Uncle Matt and Aunt Andrea for the truck hauler for Carson and the Mega Blocks one for Callahan. Here's Cal playing with the one for Carson! They really liked both of them.

Goofballs!




Mom sporting her new fancy jacket - isn't she cute?


Here's Carson with all his new clothes and toys from Uncle Jason and Aunt Shelley. Thank you guys! He was so proud of everything you got him. Can you tell?

Carson and Cal playing in the car that Aunt Shelley and Uncle Jason sent Callahan, which was filled with balls. They LOVE this and play with it everyday!

Wade and Carson playing his new NFL football game.



Carson and Callahan got new Cowboy ROMO jerseys. They were so excited!! Carson couldn't wait to put his on. This year was definitely a Dallas Cowboys Christmas. Too bad it didn't bring them any luck - better luck next year!



We literally spend the whole day opening presents. We started with the santa stuff in the morning, then ate a yummy breakfast, then opened presents, then stopped for a few hours for Cal to take a nap, then opened some more while dinner was cooking. It was so fun...we drug it out because we stopped to take toys out of boxes and put things together since the boys just couldn't wait. It was really fun though and if you think about it, Christmas is all day anyway so what's the rush right?
We enjoyed every minute of your time here Mimi and Papa and thank you for spending Christmas with us!

What a fun week with your family. I seriously love the eyeglass picture. It is so sweet to watch little bro trying to be just like big bro!
Happy New Year!
