For Christmas we had everyone to The Woodlands. Both sides of family came. I love that we are one big happy family!
Sunday, the day before Christmas Eve, we went to church to thank God for all he has blessed us with and celebrate the birth of Jesus. Mom & Tim seemed to like our church. We love that we have found a great home where every Sunday we leave filling full of his grace.
Sunday night we headed to Market Street for Mexican food and to watch the dancing Christmas Tree.

Christmas Eve we hung out around the house cooking and playing with the kiddos. Before heading over to Jen & Shawn's house we opened presents from some of the family. The girls did a great job at tearing the paper and making sure it went in the trash. They would tear, and then walk across the room to Pop and put the trash in the bag. The girls got lots of great goodies, so did Eric and I!

After opening gifts we had dinner at The Kirby's house. It was a traditional Martin menu, chili and oyster stew and lots of appetizers, oh! And wine! They were also making Ritas with Ron's new blender. Look at all of those boys starring at this machine!

The girls opened more gifts from family and played with their toys.

Once home it was bedtime for the girls and Santa came!

Christmas morning, waiting to go downstairs!

And here they come! Got to love Eric's attire! :)

The girls loved everything Santa brought them! They really loved their kitchen! In the mornings they start asking for "cooking"! That's what they call their kitchen.

Love Mables expression!

We had a fun day of exchanging gifts and eating. We had a wonderful lunch prepared by all.
After the girls naps Mable woke up pretty grumpy. I could tell she was not feeling well. She was pulling at her ear. Nothing made her better unless I could get her to sleep in my arms, and that was only for minutes. Once I realized it was her ears I put drops in them and she felt a lot better!
In the middle of the day we remembered that the girls had not seen the playhouse Santa brought them. We did not stay outside long since Mae was not up to par.

Later on we said our goodbyes to family so they could head home. We ended the day watching our girls "cooking" and laughing.
What a great Christmas!
*the next day Mable was treated for a double ear infection and was better that day.
