Christmas In Austin

We started our Christmas a week early this year and I'm loving it! It's like we are getting two weeks of Christmas instead of just one day! Monday we headed down to Austin to have Christmas with Ryan's mom's side of the family.
 
We got there around lunch time, and the baby loving began immediately. We were all pretty excited for Addyson's first Christmas, but unfortunately my sugar plum wasn't feeling so hot. Actually she was feeling really hot and running a bad fever. She wasn't up for any playing and just wanted to be held all day. Luckily there was no shortage of hands waiting to hold that baby.

We sat around and talked all afternoon and then had a wonderful meal for dinner. Addy-girl enjoyed some carrots and got her first taste of chicken! She said it was delish :) --Thanks Grandpa Joe! After dinner it was time to open presents, but the littlest elf was just feeling so, so bad. She laid on her daddy's chest with a wet cloth to keep her cool while we opened her presents for her :(
Just pitiful
 
She looked at her things for about two seconds and then it was off to bed for her. But the rest of us enjoyed the night opening all of our gifts and snacking on sweets. Well, MeeMaw and I enjoyed snacking on sweets :)

The next morning was pretty low key. Breakfast, lounging around, and re-showing Addyson all the fun things she got! We had lunch and then headed back home.

It was a Christmas cut way too short because of work, but it was fun non the less. God is so good for blessing us with such a wonderful family to celebrate Jesus' birth with!

    1. They actually live just north of Austin in Cedar Park. They do have a beautiful home, and they built it just last year!

    1. Thanks girl! She's much better now! It was just a random 24 hour bug or something. And I thought of y'all when we went through Temple! Hope you had a wonderful first Christmas with Jaqs!!!
