Christmas 2014

Christmas was so great this year! We went up to Katy and spent the holidays with my family, and everyone was able to join us. Kyle had an entire month off school, so we headed up early and I did a lot of working over the holidays. But before we headed to Katy, we went on a date to moody gardens to Iceland with Alexis and Michael. It was pretty cool seeing all the ice sculptures, even if it was of spongebob:/ And the ice slides were super fun to go down! But we didn't stay in there too long because 9 degrees gets chilly real fast!

We also got together with some friends and made gingerbread houses! And we did a repeat up in Katy with Chris and Amanda. While we were all in Katy we also looked at some model homes, me and Amanda worked on the puzzle I got her, we watched movies and football, drove around and looked at some lights, had some family pictures taken, and of course played with Ella. Grandpa is still #1, by far, but when he wasn't around she really enjoyed her Uncle Chris and Aunt Amanda. We also played a lot of games: telestrations, munchkins and munchkins zombies, bang, bag of nouns, for sale, what's yours like, and rage. We all had so much fun together, and the holidays went by too fast!

My family all together!

Christmas Morning

My sweet girl:)

Opening presents with Ella, she enjoyed it in the beginning, but got a little overwhelmed after a while. We took a break, fed her and then she was happy to go back to the presents.

Ella scored with her very own bean bag chair, some toms, wooden peg bench, and a couple other little toys,

Ella and her elephant! By far her favorite toy ever!

Riding on Uncle Chris' shoulders

The Cowboys puzzle that me and Amanda worked on. This thing was sooo difficult!! But here it is all finished!
