Merry Christmas 2015!

Merry Christmas from the Houstons! Our first Christmas as a family of four (I mean five.... with our beagle, Burke!).  It was a truly memorable day.... it was so fun watching Zander open his presents from Santa and from everyone else.  This was the first Christmas morning we have ever had at our house.  It felt great to wake up in our own beds and stay in our pajamas!  Zander has played with his new toys for hours!  Here are some pictures from our week!

Relaxing after work with daddy

Wanted to take Elmo to school with him

Went to see the Country Christmas Train with Grammy and Grandpa.... admission came with a lighted walking tour and a train ride through the lights.... it was beautiful!

No more pictures!

The boys had matching outfits!

Pictures below by Ashley to prove they had matching outfits! :)  It was impossible to get a 2 year old and 7 week old to cooperate for these pictures!  She did an awesome job despite the challenges! ;)

Helping mommy with other holiday treats while the cookies are baking!

Proud of the finished product!

Christmas Eve was spent at my mom and dad's new house.  We ate delicious food, opened presents and watched the "Polar Express".

Maddox loves Grandpa's chair!

Maddox was worn out from all the gift giving and present opening

Maddox enjoyed it too!

Prepping cookies for Santa

Writing a letter to Santa.... Zander's words... it is pretty funny!

Santa came!

The reindeer ate the reindeer food Zander made at school!

My family came over to our house for breakfast on Christmas morning to see the boys open their presents from Santa!

All Zander asked Santa for was a book!
