Home for the Holidays

While home for the holidays, we were able to see all of our family.  It was so great to see Chad's nephews again.  Dillion and Austin were the ring bearers in our wedding--they were 4 years old at the time!!

It is dang impossible to get a decent picture of all Maw Maw's grandkids. . .we can't get everyone to cooperate.  One of these days, I'm gonna get a good picture OR ELSE!!

Well it seems the "Perfect Picture" is NOT happening on either side of our family.

I couldn't get the Perilloux grandkids to cooperate either!

Christmas 2009

ON Christmas Eve, we attend service at The Woodlands United Methodist Church.  They recreate the nativity scene for kids.  Callie loves it.  I love seeing all the little ones dressed up in their Christmas clothes.  This year, Callie requested a matching purse.

Once home, we decorate cookies and get ready for Santa.  The kids are allowed to open one present on Christmas Eve. . it's a Perilloux tradition.  All of us get a new pair of PJs. . I hope my kids continue this tradition with their families.. .That would make PawPaw and I VERY happy.

"Twas the night before Christmas.  ."

It looks like Maya caught Santa!!

The joy of Christmas morning. . my favorite part of the day is watching my kids' faces as they open their presents.

The kids' gift from Chad and I was a new TV for the Game Room

Happy Birthday, Jesus!!!
