A Texas Christmas!

After a great first Christmas weekend...we headed to San Antonio to enjoy even more holiday celebrations! Always good to be back home in Texas and we kicked off our stay right with some tasty bbq at Rudy's! Watching Hannah eat ribs, brisket, chicken, and bread while enjoying it yourself is awesome - so proud! Eating was a common theme throughout our Texas stay...both home cooked meals by my mama and yummy outings to delicious restaurants!



I LOVE Christmas Eve! Love getting dressed up for Christmas Eve Mass, love getting together with family to eat tamales and other goodies, love opening up my Christmas PJ's, love listening to Christmas music, watching Christmas movies...what's not to love!? I was so busy loving my favorite night that I failed to capture most of it with any photos! Oops! We had a great evening - my Aunt, Uncle and cousins came over to my parents house after church and we all ate, visited, and watched the little ones play! Hannah began her love for the Radio City Music Hall Rockettes this Christmas Eve...my parents gave us the 75th Anniversary DVD and Hannah requests it daily! She loves to copy the dances, kicks, arm movements, and some of the simple choreography - I cannot wait to sign her up for dance classes! Like mother, like daughter - I also loved dance and began as a a toddler and continued up until middle school!




Christmas morning was spent opening presents, hanging out in our pj's, and eating of course! Delicious grilled steaks for our Christmas meal - heaven! Hannah received even more gifts from Santa including a nativity set, cowgirl sleeping mat/pillow, AND the biggest hit of all the gifts - a stroller for her baby doll (well, my old doll while we were in Texas)! The adults received some very generous gifts as well...thanks so much mom and dad! What a merry day for everyone - best gift this year was being home in Texas for Christmas - makes this homesick girl so happy!




Best part of the holiday was that Hannah and I were able to stay longer to eat, shop, enjoy the weather, and spend time with family! Love and miss everyone so much! Thanks for such a great trip! Merry Christmas!
