This is the last and final blog entry about Christmas 2011. After spending Dec. 23 at my mom's in Granbury, Christmas Eve at Sabrina's, and Christmas morning at home...we still had 2 more to go. We always spend Christmas evening at Nommie and Poppy's with my dad's side of the family. Poppy does an amazing job decorating the house and making it very kid friendly! He goes all out with the outdoor lights and decorations and everywhere you turn there is some sort of talking/singing/dancing Christmas decoration all throughout the house. It's seriously like a Christmas museum over there during the holidays! I LOVE it!! We ate till our tummies ached, opened tons of gifts, relaxed/visited/rested, and the kids played and played and played. This particular Christmas reminds me so much of my childhood. Nommie still lives in the same house, so I have been doing this exact same thing my entire life...I'm just the adult now rather than the child. It is also where my dad grew up. This home holds a lifetime of memories for our family :)
A failed attempt at a pic with Nommie, Poppy, and their great-grandchildren. Allie was not a happy camper at that particular moment :(

Allie was much happier sitting with her Nommie :)

The holidays really took a toll on Allie. All of the long days, skipping naps, constantly driving from here to there and everywhere, and just the overall lack of their normal schedule made for a fussy Allie Kathryn. Surprisingly, Emily did fine with the chaos. If you look close at this pic, Allie is laying down refusing to take a picture with her sister...
The Tuesday after Christmas, we went to Grandpa and Donna's house out in Southlake. We had Christmas with them a little late because they went to FL to be with Donna's mom for Christmas this year. Again, we had a blessed time stuffing our faces with tons of goodies, opening lots of great gifts, and enjoyed spending time with our amazing family!
