Creed Christmas

Josh and I are very blessed to be able to spend Christmas with both sides of our family. We headed to Texas first the Wednesday before Christmas.

Here are a few decorations from our house before we headed south...

First up on the list when we got to Texas was sugar cookies! Logan was so into helping decorate the cookies this year. It was such a blast. I think they were the best yet! Each served with a disclaimer, "May permanently dye your mouth green due to large quantities of sprinkles" :) It will be so fun to continue this tradition as the family grows.

We woke up Christmas Eve to cinnamon rolls of course. Always delicious. When it came to present time, Logan was a huge help to everyone and loved opening up the presents from Cousin Thomas and Christopher in California. We sure missed them this year!

Aiden, loving life.

Being a big helper to Uncle Josh.

We enjoyed a relaxing morning at Mom's before heading off to Christmas Eve church. It was very special this year as we all went together to church - Brandon, Heather, the boys, Ashley, Landon, Mom, Josh and I - and it was snowing! Snow on Christmas Eve in Texas... who would have thought! It was so fun... cold but fun. After church, we headed to the Garrey Family Christmas at my Aunt Kristi and Uncle Bob's. Josh and I missed this gathering last year so we were especially excited to see everyone together. They were such great hosts.

Brandon, Aiden, Josh, and our cousin, Ryan. Ryan is a junior at Plano East and driving! I still cannot believe how fast they are growing up.

Logan LOVED his Thomas the Train set from Mary. He opened it and said, "This is for me!?"

Gift Exchange - books, wine, home decor, giftcards, beer... you name it, someone brought it.

Fuzzy picture of the Creeds - so sad. It would have been really great!

The Howards - John, Uncle Mike, Aunt Lisa, Sam, and Mary

The Talafuses - Meagan, Andrea, Jenni, and Aunt Sheri

Landon and Josh - again fuzzy :(

After reading this post, I realize I neglect taking pictures of some important people as Logan and Aiden tend to steal my flash. If they weren't just so darn cute! I vow to do better :)
