Part 1
We spent a few days in Beaumont (the 22nd-morning of the 25th) and had a wonderful time. Everyone was together for most of the 23rd and 24th, which was great. There are now 6 grandkids!
Our family picture
Colin spent some of his awake time in the swing.
Julia and Shane played together at the neighborhood park.
Colin spent most of his time like this.
Opening gifts.
"Jumping" on the bed with Madison (they were allowed to bounce on their bottoms)
Fun!
Getting a bottle from Pop
Going in for a kiss!
And another kiss! Julia adores her cousin Katelyn.
Gifts left by Santa
(The only thing Julia hoped Santa would bring her was RED glitter. No matter how many time we asked her, that was her response. Santa decided to give her more than that, though.)
Checking it all out.
The jackpot: Red glitter!
She also got some small Dora things: a bouncy ball, a matching game (her favorite), a DVD, and a few other misc. items.
Julia can still fit through the tiny doggy door on the gate at Gigi and Pop's house.
Part 2
After opening Santa's gifts on Christmas morning, we headed back to Houston to spend the day with Mamaw, Papaw, and Uncle James.
Family Picture
Opening gifts
Papaw held Colin while we opened gifts. He was so comfy and content.
Julia and Uncle James reading the new book he gave her.
Cozy by the fire.
We were so glad it was cool enough for a fire in the fireplace!
Dancing with Papaw at a restaurant
Julia spent most of her stay playing outside with Papaw, and most of that time was spent in the swing. She loves that it can go so high!
Daddy getting ready to give her a push.
Weee! Up into the tree! (literally)
Beautiful smile!
What could be more fun than this?
