Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas celebration with family last week. We were thrilled to have my mom, brother, sis-in-law, niece, and nephew here for an early Christmas, then we visited with other family and friends over the weekend via quick day-trips.

We made a quick trip 30 minutes away to see a dear college friend while she was visiting her family! We loved visiting with you, Kaela! =) Hope to see you again soon.

Blake was pretty tired by the time we got home. =)

Then it was off to Austin to visit my aunt, cousin, and her kiddo for a quick visit and some shopping. SOOO great seeing you guys!! Tatum is such a big girl now, and we can't wait to meet Levi! =)

I love the row of blonds and brunettes (Blake isn't quite there yet with the hair, but soon). =)

Blake LOVES LOVES LOVES his band set...seriously. Played with the drumsticks ALL day today. Not sure yet if we should thank you or not for the beautiful music he's making. =)

On Christmas morning (the 25th), we woke up to a white Christmas. What a great way to celebrate Blake's FIRST Christmas! And what a beautiful sight. These pictures do not quite capture it. We tried to bundle up to take a few pictures outside, but we didn't last too long in the cold. =)
