Jency came to stay with us at the beginning of December for a week while Misty & Frank went to New York. We had a blast keeping her and being entertained by her jabbering. It was also a small peek to what it would be like when we have one of our own. Let us just say a very different lifestyle taking care of a little one!
That Sunday our bible study all went to the Christmas Celebration production put on by our church. We had heard it was a big deal and it turned out to be very good! (They even had a huge elephant walk through the sanctuary and Santa flies in from the balcony.) Here are a few pictures from after the show with some of the characters:
Well Mr. Broadstreet got plenty of goodies from his kids this year! (They all love him...I have parents of patients come into my office all the time raving about him!) He got tons of sweets, more starbucks gift cards than he knows what to do with, money, a blanket, sweet cards, etc.! Here's some of the stuff & a very happy teacher:
This year I decided to make a few homemade gifts. My first project was to finish the scrapbook I have been working on for Dallas' parents for 3 years! After that I painted a decorated a letter J for Jency's room and made homemade ornaments for the family. I forgot to get a picture of all the ornaments but here is the one I made for our tree.
Speaking of Christmas decorations here is the finished picture of the Christmas lights from my last post:
Our Christmas break began with the roadtrip to Abilene. Christmas with the Broadstreets was the morning after we arrived. Christmas morning got moved up this year to the 23rd so we could all be together! I believe Kerr was very excited to finally see his scrapbook finished & Traca got her first digital Christmas scrapbook with last year's pictures only a year late :) (Hey...I'm cutting the time in half from Kerr's scrapbook)! Dallas & I were very excited to get the flash for our camera in our stockings....one step closer to our photography company we would like to start! Here are a few pictures from "Christmas Morning":
And if you notice, Dallas has on his elf shirt for Christmas & his parents bought him the perfect hat to go with it. Here is the debut Elf dance video:
After a few days in Abilene we headed back to Katy to have Christmas with my side of the family. After opening presents it was time for a dance off. This year for entertainment everyone got a chance (or was forced :) ) to play Just Dance 2 on the Wii. It is a game where you have to copy the person dancing on the screen and compete against each other. It was very amusing and we had a great time laughing at each other and ourselves!
What a December full of great memories! We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!
