We were able to go to Arlington to celebrate an early Christmas with my family. After starting the trip off with a bang (literally) on our way to church on Sunday (we got into a little fender bender) we had a fabulous trip. On Sunday most of my family went to church together. It was very nice and then we had dinner that night.
The cousins after church. Our kids sure love playing with their cousins at Grandma's house.
On Monday we had fun spending the morning with cousins and playing with Grandma's head bands.
Then Aaron went to lunch with John Merris while I took the kids to Costa Vida. Yum, one of our favorite stops in Dallas.
Then that night we got together with my while family and did the big Christmas dinner and opened presents. Oh so much fun. The kids all loved their gifts and we loved watching everyone open them.
A few highlights. The Cinderella dresses!!
This handmade skirt Kim got Millie and the tights. Oh man we've seen this outfit many times since that night.
Carson loved his presents. He really scored this year with Mario stuff and a planetarium for his room.
Then on Tuesday my parents got a bounce house for the backyard. The kids loved it and had a blast. We took the kids up to spend some time with Aaron's sister Lindsey and her family. We had a great time spending the afternoon playing with them.
Then I came back with the kids and my parents rented a 15 passenger van and we attempted a few popular Christmas light places.
The lines were long and the patience was short but we loved just riding all around together. Afterwards we made hot chocolate and got the kids to bed super late.
Meanwhile Aaron was watching Star Wars with his nieces and nephews, brother and brother in law. He said it was awesome.
And then just like that it was time to go home. We were exhausted but had a really fun trip. I kept feeling like Christmas was already over even though it was only the 23rd!
