DECEMBER 24, 2009 - CHRISTMAS EVE WITH CHRIS' FAMILY

Christmas Eve. Rowan and Isabel were excited about going to Blondie Grandma's house Christmas Eve. This year Chris' family decided to have a dinner because this could be our last Christmas here in San Antonio with everyone. It was nice to spend time with all of the family and the nieces and nephews, and great nephew. Of course for Rowan didn't want to eat because he was just too excited about opening presents. Some of the pictures Rowan took and they came out pretty good.

Rowan and Isabel all ready to start Christmas!!! On our way to grandma's house.



Rowan, Isabel and Chris put this ginger bread house together. It came out pretty good. The kids were so proud of it. I think we will make this a tradition every year.


Liz, Chris' Dad, Damon along with our nieces Briana, Hailey, Kelsey and our nephew Dylan

Auntie Deanna getting the kids ready for gift opening time.


Rowan and Isabel opening presents.

Our niece Megan and our great nephew Gage opening presents. Doesn't he look cute with that bow on his head.


Nolan opening his gift from us. We bought him a dragon. He is into dragons right now. And Kristin opening her presents. We bought her music composition books for Phantom of the Opera and one with classics. She has become a beautiful piano player. She is really really good. Both of my nieces, Kristin and Briana are very talented. Briana learned how to play the guitar in 6 short months and plays very well and writes her own songs. Very impressive. I wish I had a pic/video of her playing.


Niece Kelsey and newphew Darian opening presents.


This is a picture Rowan took of me.


Here's Chris, Deanna, Liz, and Damon. Unfortunately Julie is missing from this picture but we were all thinking about her.


Chris and Uncle Gabriel. Gabe stopped by Chris' mom's house to bring Rowan and Isabel presents.


Isabel and Rowan opening uncle Gabriel's presents. Rowan got GI Joe (he was so excited) and Isabel two swim suit Barbies.

What a great day everyone had. It is nice to spend the holidays with love ones.
