We celebrated Christmas in Texas a little early this year…
We were able to spend a weekend with C’s family…
Our fun-filled weekend was kicked off by spending the afternoon with C’s sister and mom before heading to dinner in Fort Worth. After dinner, C and B headed to C’s mom and dad’s house while the girls enjoyed the Nutcracker at Bass Hall. Watching the Nutcracker made me nostalgic for the Christmas when I was in the “Nutcracker on Ice” back in elementary school…don’t give me too much credit, I think all I did was skate across the rink in a costume…but I remember thinking I may grow up to be a professional ice skater someday…
It was really fun to get dressed up and enjoy time together at Bass Hall!
On Saturday, we enjoyed a lazy morning around the house and a run around the neighborhood. We were able to visit C’s Mimi and Grandy in the afternoon. Later, after B’s nap, we celebrated Christmas. C’s mom found these adorable Christmas pajamas for B.
B’s “Auntie B” gave him a music table that he can stand against…It is was fun to watch B tap the drum and cymbal…he is truly following in his dad’s footsteps!
Earlier this month, we took B to “Van Grow” (a kid’s art studio in Fort Worth) to paint Christmas plates this year. The goal was to have the plate look like a wreath by using B’ handprints. B was less than impressed by the idea of having paint on his hands…but overall the plate turned out pretty cute…
While opening gifts, B was most interested in his bottle and the wrapping paper. B received a membership to the zoo as one of his gifts… we are so excited to have the opportunity to make memories with B at the zoo and to watch him learn about God’s incredible creation.
After all the gifts were opened, C and I headed to his company Christmas party while B enjoyed an evening at home with his Grandma J and Grandpa B.
On Sunday, we enjoyed a Christmas concert at church followed by a homemade lunch before heading home.
One of the great transitions about being married is the need to sort of divide and conquer for holidays…we were so grateful to be able to have the weekend to celebrate…it was great to simply be together, regardless of what day it was!
