Our Merry Christmas

Our trip to Texas for Christmas started out with a 12hr road trip with 3 kids (3 and under) squeezed into the backseat of my Camry. The girls actually did a great job, and I was so proud of them. Holly & I drove with the girls, while Clee and Jason came behind us several hours later. We had a great Christmas in Texas with family. We did some driving back and forth between Lubbock and Littlefield, but we were able to spend a lot of time with both sides of our family. Reagan and Reese had a ball playing with their cousins - Payton, Evan, & Bryson. And, we really enjoyed just visiting with everyone. We even got to visit with DeeDee on Skype several times. She watched the girls open their presents from her. We all just passed the laptop around and took turns talking to her like she was right there with us. I love technology!!

There was a ton of snow!! It made the drive from Lubbock to Littlefield Christmas morning a bit more treacherous, but we made it. (After assisting some people in an SUV that weren't quite so lucky - their car slid into a ditch and rolled onto it's side.) Jason & Clee wanted to build a snowman, and they attempted to get the girls to participate. Reagan was not at all interested in the cold and spent about 2 minutes outside while Payton just ate snow the whole time.

Payton, Reagan, & Clee Reese wanted so badly to be out there with the bigger kids. Showing off their masterpiece!
