Christmas in Texas

For christmas this year, we headed to San Antonio, Texas. Unfortunately, December was super snowy, so we weren't sure if Josh was going to make it at all. Luckily, from the 26th to the end of the month the snow stopped! So Josh Came the day after Christmas and was able to stay for a week.

The Girls and I flew with Grandma Green on the 23rd to Texas. We saw Josh for about 2 hours in the last two days and he was running on 4 hours of sleep in 48 hours. He came home just in time to get in the car and drive us to the airport and then go home and sleep.

The girls did really well on the plane. Alexis slept almost the whole time and Ellie played on the ipad or talked to the cute girl sitting next to us. Grandma was across the aisle asking every few minutes if she could help us out, but the girls were perfect! We got to San Antonio super late and the girls wouldn't sleep unless they were in bed with me... so we all "Slept" together. (They slept and I laid there all night ha) Luckily they moved to their own beds the next day and had no problems the rest of the time!

Christmas Eve we played at Nano and Papa's house and, of course, made sugar cookies. Ellie had a blast playing with all her cousins and everyone loved holding and playing with Alexis.

 That night, we did a little nativity. Ellie was a shepherd/wiseman and Alexis got to be baby Jesus. And since I was Alexis' mom, I played Mary.

 the grandkids all opened up one present, which was the cutest matching jammies ever!

 Christmas Morning we all got together at Jen and Peter's house and opened presents. The girls were spoiled by their Aunts and cousins.. of course! We ate Doug's famous orange rolls and spent all morning opening presents and playing.

 It was so fun having Grandma Green, or "GG" as the kids call her, there. Its so fun to see her playing with her great grandkids and to see my kids with her.
