I know I'm three months late, but better late than never.
This year at Christmas my brother-in-law and new sister-in-law came to Lubbock for Christmas and they brought one of Kate's sisters with them. It was fun to have the whole family together for our first Christmas.
Right after Thanksgiving my dear friend, Jamee, took Christmas card pictures for us and I think they turned out fabulous.
Every year I love to decorate for Christmas and each year I add a little bit more to my decorations. This year I started to decorate before Thanksgiving because hubby was having gallbladder surgery and I wanted to get a head start on getting things put out.

We spend Christmas eve at hubby's Granny's house and exchange white elephant gifts. It is always fun to see what people bring and end up with. Hubby's Granny brought the best gift which is the monkey beanie that my father-in-law ended up going home with.

Hubby and I exchange gifts on Christmas eve because our Christmas day is always too busy and we aren't at home much.

| Hubby knows that I love cows so I got all cow stuff! |
We really enjoyed having Joel, Kate, and Mint here for Christmas. Mint had never been to the states before or participated in Christmas. It was perfect for her because we had a white Christmas this year.

My sweet Poppa was in an in-patient rehab during Christmas for a bad infection, but luckily he got to come spend the day with us. We are so blessed to have him with us.
