Christmas Review...

OK, so in two and a half weeks in Houston, you'd think we would have had a lazy relaxing time...not so much. Between three Christmas', two birthdays (I am now 29), 1 5-year anniversary (yay for Patrick and me!!) 1 welcome home party for my brother-in-law, David, a wedding and a couple of side trips, we are pretty exhausted! We arrived back home to San Antonio Monday afternoon. Our children are adjusting to life with their real parents who have REAL rules. (No chips for dinner, no playing with my cell phone, crying doesn't get you what you want, no...there are no more presents to unwrap, and my favorite line of all time is back in play..."do what I say, when I say it, with a respectful attitude."-courtesy Voddie Baucham.) You might ask where Dan and I were??? Well, we were there, it's just that our incredibly intelligent kids knew to go to one of the 4 gullible grandparents to get permission for their ridiculous requests:):) We really did have a great time and truly enjoyed spending time with David and Callie. (This was the first time we had seen him since he came home from Iraq.) Here are a myriad of pictures.

The number 1 gift for Macy was her baby doll that Aunt Callie got her. It is so neat how innate being a mommy is...feeding her baby, putting her to sleep...

giving her a bottle..

Trey and Uncle David with the biggest fire truck ever. (Thanks, guys, now I have to find a place to store it:)

All the cousins with Mia (my mom)
