Our Christmas celebration began in Austin this year. We just went for one night the weekend before Christmas because John Mark had to be back to teach youth on Sunday. We had Christmas brunch on Saturday and then opened gifts. Lela and her family didn't make it to Texas for Christmas this year, but they will be coming at the end of January. Yay! Aunt Debbie didn't make it this year because she was feeling ill. We got to pop open 'crackers' after eating and each one had a crown in it. Mimi wore hers all day. :)

We had our little family Christmas back at home on Christmas Eve. This year the boys got a basketball goal for their big gift. As usual, the biggest hit was the mini Lego sets we got them.
 |
They also loved their battery operated toothbrushes.
Wesley got Thor and Curtis got Iron Man. |

On Christmas day, John Mark's family (minus Paul and Christi who were in Maine) came to spend the night. We had a 'rousing' game of Sequence for Kids with Golly and Granddad while waiting for the Jones to arrive.

The Jones arrived late on Christmas night, so the day after Christmas was a lazy morning. John Mark made quiche and biscuits for the crowd. The cousins got some good time playing together, and then we opened gifts. I had to head to work pretty soon after the gift time, but I did get to meet up with them for supper at Mexican Inn before everyone parted ways.
