A Texas Christmas

We headed to TX late last week with a long list of things to do.

On Wednesday night, after settling in to our hotel in Plano, we met up with Chris and Chuck for dinner at Pluckers. It was Chuck's 40th birthday - so we were happy to celebrate with him. After dinner, we went back to their house to visit, play and have cake and ice cream.

The kids (especially Tommy) get so excited when we mention Charlie, so it was nice that they got to play together. We had a great time and ended up staying there until after 11:00 that night - yikes!

Thursday evening, after Tom finished with his client meetings, we all headed to my parents house in East Texas. We made it just in time for dinner.

Friday, we stayed around the house (since it was a rainy day) that morning, and then headed to Kimmie's house so the kids could play with Kylee.

Once Adam got home from work, we had our "Christmas dinner" and then opened presents. To say the kids were excited would be an understatement. Haha! Tommy and Grace (and Tom and I) LOVED everything we got.

Kimmie had her house decorated so nice
