Merry Christmas!

Wow!  What a fun Christmas we had!  Michael took off time and we spent two weeks visiting family and celebrating Christmas together.  It was wonderful.

First stop, Outback Steakhouse.  Ummmm, right?  Well, when you're driving a long way, in terrible weather, in no hurry, and with a gift card - you stop.  So, we stopped somewhere in Arkansas and the kids ordered an awesome blossom.  Mom-guard was totally down.....


2nd Stop - The Thompson House in Leland, Mississippi.  What fun we had celebrating an early Christmas with the Leland Browns!






Marcia and George had everyone for dinner.  We had a great time, as you can see!  Everything was beautiful, delicious, and fun!


Grandmother and her great-grandbabies!  The kids did a great job putting on a Christmas play for us.


Grandmother, grandkids, and great-grandkids


Leland Browns!


Marcia had a darling kids table - and lots of goodies! :)



 

One last picture with her "prince."  Susannah was so in love with Preston - hilarious!  Preston and William look ready to babysit :)


Leland wore us out!


Stop #3 - home for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  Santa visits! 




We told Russell that his jersey is a Dallas Cowboys jersey and then he ran upstairs and put on Susannah's cowgirl boots and dress-up cowboy hat.  I guess we will have to explain this one to him, haha!


Stop #4 - OKC....and Santa visited, again!



Christmas celebrating with the Chicago crew



On the road again!  Stop #5 - Plano...and Santa visited again!  But I didn't get any pictures.  Boo.  Better luck next time...trust me, we had fun and Santa did really well :)


Coffee cheers to a wonderful Christmas!
