Today we celebrated Christmas with my side of the family. We had 23 people for a fabulous lunch. My dad decided to cook Chicken Fried Steak for our dinner. It was so good! We had a great time getting things ready and eating lunch and then a fun time watching the kids open presents. When they were done, we played 'dirty Santa' for the adults gifts. It was so fun! I really feel God's provision in this move back to Texas. It is an incredible feeling to be with family during Christmas. If you're struggling with that, just move away for about 14 years and you'll have a different perspective. We didn't know what we were missing. Last night, we drove around an looked at Christmas lights with Pa Bob and Meme while we ate popcorn. My kids love making these memories. Rachel even wrote about it in a project she did for Christmas. We are blessed beyond measure!

Aud, I see so many complaining about this or that with spending time with family for holidays. I tell them the same thing..... try moving away and you will miss it! We've been away for 7.5 years now from Shaine's family and longer from mine.
Glad you all had a great time. Seeing Dad outside cooking in a short sleeve shirt made me smile. He wouldn't be doing that if he was here!
We are so happy for y'all!!! We miss you so dearly, but are so glad for y'all to be with you families!!! Merry Christmas Friends!
