From Christmas to Texas

My new baby cousin's first Christmas.

He and my sister are like two long lost peas.

Family pictures, some of them were nice, and others of them were so goofy.

James' first day it snowed from morning until we went to bed that night.

Our first snowman!

We did a lot of resting.

We played in the snow as much as possible.

Our favorite people ever!! James is still wearing those sillybands.

Elijah and James fell in love with each other again.

On the road again...

Christmas at home was fantastic. Before December, in 2010, I spent approximately three days at my parent's home in Cold Springs. Not enough. James flew in on the New Year's eve and spent a week with us there. We spent as much time as we could with family in the snow and then headed back down to Orange County to see some of our favorite people there. From Dana Point we headed to Phoenix to spend time with the Teaters family, and at 5:30 Saturday morning we started our drive to San Antonio. It was a long day of driving, but getting here in time to be welcomed home by everyone in our community was fantastic.
