PAGES OF US: Day 11-13 In Texas: Christmas Eve and Christmas With Mimi

Day 11: Wednesday 12/24

Today was the day to say "see you later" to my parents. It's always tearful, but knowing that we are going to see them in a few months made it a little easier. We packed all our bags, put them in the truck, and took a few pictures before leaving.

See you later's are the hardest!

On our way to Flower Mound, we I had to stop at the outlets in San Marcos. I wanted to see what they had a Vera Bradley. Aaron waited for me in the car with Connor {he was sleeping} and I went shopping. I bought a new diaper bag, wallet, and camera bag.

I had my hands full with my purchases, and somehow managed to forget the phone that Aaron's dad let us borrow. I didn't realize it until we were already 25 minutes on the road. Aaron wasn't very happy with me, but we turned around and he kept a smile on his face. When I got to the store, the cashier remembered me and sent someone to get the phone from the back. There was horrible traffic when we got back on the highway and what should have been a 4 1/2 hour trip {from SA to Flower Mound} turned into a 6 hour trip. Whoopsies! My fault.

We finally got to Chrissy's house at 4:30 and were so surprised when we saw her. She took off work to greet us when we got into town. Mimi came about an hour after we got there. We were tired after the long drive, so we put on our pj's and relaxed the rest of Christmas Eve.

Looking at the fishy.

Having a serious conversation with Auntie on the kitchen floor.

Reading his new book with Mimi.

The bee says, "Buzzzzzzz."

Day 12: Thursday 12/25

{Christmas morning} We started it off with breakfast and trying to climb out of the doggy door.

Grandma Sunshine {Connor's great grandma} flew in from Florida this morning, so Aaron went to pick her up extra early. She flies standby like us, so we were super happy she got on the flight. When they got home, we played until it was time to open presents.

He loves music.

Reading his new Golden Book from Great Grandma.

Playing with his remote control car.

Fun light up medical kit.

After presents, Aaron and Connor played outside in the leaves. Boys!

This is fun!

We were having Christmas dinner at Ryan's sisters house, so we all got dressed and went over there. His family is the sweetest and we had a great time. Oh, and the food was delish!

Of course I wanted pictures of us while we were dressed and out of our jammies.

The girls.

Connor loved going up and down the stairs.

Pretty ladies.

My love.

Love this picture of them looking in the mirror.

Yumm!

Day 13: Friday 12/26

After a busy day yesterday, we wanted to rest all day today. Connor fell asleep on the couch while we were watching a movie. He was really comfy with his Mimi and Great Grandma.
