Merry Christmas!

We stayed in Houston for Christmas this year but had no shortage of visitors - all welcome and very much appreciated!

We started with Christmas Eve service at church, then a gumbo dinner at home.


The boys opened their Christmas Eve presents - matching Christmas PJs!


Treats set out for Santa by the fireplace

And then, Christmas morning!

Wesley put together the great solar system puzzle from Papaw Jim and Grandma Judi!

Later that evening, Nana, Papa, and Uncle Rik arrived!

In case you haven't heard (see previous post), Wesley is riding his pedal bike on two wheels now! See videos below, but here are a few pictures...


Slowly but surely


Here we go!

Sadly, our company left on Sunday morning...here are a few parting shots:

Nana, Jack, Uncle Rik, Wesley, and Papa...safe travels!
