A Texas Christmas

We spent Christmas in San Antonio visiting Cory's dad (Big Daddy), Cheri, and Andrew. Cory's brother, Dan and his wife, Sarah, were there too so we got to meet our nephew and Luke's only cousin, Hudson! Luke had so much fun while we were there, and he really enjoyed his very first Christmas! He really loved playing with his new toys (and of course all the ribbon and wrapping paper!), and he loved watching Andrew play and getting licked by their dog, Carly! On Christmas morning

He was SO excited to be there and loved all his new toys!

Opening more presents! He loved the wrapping paper of course!

I've never seen Luke so excited about toys! He got this really cool stacking toy from Dan and Sarah.

When there's something in Luke's way, he just climbs right over it! He was trying to get to an ornament on the tree and climbed right on top of Andrew's new toy. He's very determined to do things!

Luke was actually really sick on Christmas day--really bad cough and congestion, and his cheeks turned BRIGHT red. He looks so sad in this pic. Poor thing.

Cory spent the afternoon helping Andrew put together his new Star Wars lego tank. I think Cory had more fun doing it than Andrew did!

Andrew, Cory, and Dan all got remote controlled helicoptors to play with! They had the best time flying them all over the living room. Boys will be boys no matter how old they are! Luke couldn't stop staring at them either!

I was trying to make Luke stand up for the picture, but you can see that he obviously wanted to crawl around! Taking pictures gets harder and harder these days!

The last day we were there we went to a little town nearby called Gruene. It had the cutest little shops so we did a little shopping and sight seeing.

Me and Luke in front of a true Texas Christmas tree--it will full of red chili pepper lights!

It's official--I married a "WILD" man!

In one of the little antique stores, we saw some of these old telephones. Andrew had never seen one before so I had to show him how to use one. It brought back lots of memories! Man, did it take a long time to dial one phone number back then!

The boys in front of the famous Gruene Hall--a lot of big name people play there! Who knew?!

We had such a fun visit to Texas!! And a wonderfully fabulous first Christmas with Luke! We are so blessed!
