Christmas Activities

We've had a busy and fun December.  We went to a Christmas Festival in Angleton (that was way too crowded for me) but we learned to just stick to the Festival of Lights in Lake Jackson because it seems like there is more to do.  We went to a company Christmas party for one of Corry's bank customers and had a great time at Joe's Banquet Hall in Alvin.  They had delicious food, a big puppet show, took a professional family picture for each family, and gave each child an age & gender appropriate gift and had the puppets call their names out!

We went to ride the Christmas train in Alvin.  We met up with Laurie, Brian & Kinley and Jennifer, Jim & their boys.



The train actually derailed as soon as we started going and we had to get off so that about 8 men could lift it back on the track!  Corry helped and said it was unbelievably heavy!


 

Brian, Kinley & Laurie (and new bun in the oven) :)

A & S with Mackinley

Love this picture of Maverick & Mackinley with the girls.  They were being shy about getting in the picture with the girls- especially Maverick (on the left).  He took to Shelby, so when we had A & S switch places so that he could be by Shelby he agreed to the picture!


Carly was exactly 9 months this night!
