Christmas Vacation... Whew!!

So the kids are back at school now and I wanted to just quickly post about our whirlwind Christmas break. We had so much fun!



Chad starred as the "purple king" at his preschool Christmas pageant.

December 18: Christmas Festivities kicked off with the Annual Oliver-Williams Dinner at Spring Creek BBQ


After dinner, we came back to our house for the stocking exchange. The cousins opened all of their presents... Nana got all the kids cute robes.



December 19th: My parents treated us to the ICE! exhibit at the Gaylord. We all had to wear these huge blue jackets. It was cold!


That blue coat with feet is Ryan.


December 20: Cookie baking at Grandma's house! Had to include this picture... Colette dumped some flour on the floor and had so much fun playing in it!


Grandma & Chad worked hard making the Spritz cookies.


Yum! Yum! Yum!


That night, Staci & I visited Elizabeth's new baby girl. Born on Staci's birthday!


December 21: The boys and I tried to build this gingerbread house.


Uhhhh.... looks kinda like it, right? It's made of gingerbread...


December 24th: We went to my parents house to celebrate. Grandpa put on the Santa costume and Ryan was not happy!


We all opened our name gifts and our stocking stuffers.


Christmas Day: Santa came!
I made homemade cinnamon rolls and they were yummy!

We headed to the Knights' house for lunch. We brought our new Band Hero.


Prego Jaime, Brad, and Jill rocked it!


My sweet family


December 26: My baby turned 7!


We went to Holiday in the Park at Six Flags. I love this pic!


The boys got to sled down a snow hill! I love this pic too. ;)


December 30: We met Grandma & Grandpa at the Dallas Zoo. The new Savannah section is really nice. You can feed giraffes!


We've been reading Harry Potter each night, but Chad only lasts a few pages.
Merry Christmas Everyone!

The gingerbread house: NAILED IT! :)

But seriously, the cinnamon buns look out of this world. Are they hard to make? Send me the recipe!
