Our family Christmas 2011

We celebrated Christmas with our family on Monday after I got home from work.  We were all a little tired, but we had a lot of fun, nonetheless!  And Ashlyn was really getting into opening presents after a lot of practice!

















Chance spoiled me!  A new All Clad skillet, a knife AND a new jacket!
I must have been good this year!




Our Christmas Dinner!
Campisi's Delivery at Ashlyn's new table!


Cheers!

Christmas in Abilene

We spent Christmas weekend in Abilene this year.  I was off work on Friday so we loaded up Thursday night and hit the road.  Ashlyn had a fun time playing with her cousins, as always!  And we even woke up to snow on Christmas Eve!  We celebrated Christmas Saturday night and had an awesome dinner and opened gifts.  Christmas morning, Santa left a few things for Ashlyn at Nenna and Papa's house and then we went to the Avery's house for breakfast!  We loaded up after breakfast and headed to Arlington to celebrate Christmas with Gpa, Gma and Aunt Sarah!

Christmas in Arlington

Christmas morning we loaded up and headed to Arlington to spend Christmas with Gpa, Gma and Aunt Sarah.  We had such a relaxing day...watched the Mavs season opener outside in Gpa's "Man Cave" (complete with a big screen TV, an outdoor heater, surround sound and fridge), napped and had a wonderful meal!  Then it was time to open gifts!  We spent the night and Gpa took me to the train so I could head into work for the day.  Ashlyn stayed to play while Chance ran a few errands (read:  Christmas shopped for his wife).

Playing outside...all bundled up in her new bathrobe!




Mazzy enjoyed the game
Keeping Ashlyn away from the pool kept us all on our toes.
Gpa didn't know how fast she was!
Love this picture!

Opening a gift early

Ready for presents!


This was hilarious...Aunt Sarah gave Ashlyn a "Wub a nub" that is
 an elephant.  When Ashlyn opened it, she got so excited, signing "more,
more" and stomping her feet.  I couldn't open it fast enough!



Sarah and I both gave Dad this book! 


She loved these socks...wanted all 3 pairs on at the same time!





Thanks for my table Gma and Gpa!
