Christmas Part 2

After Christmas morning at home, we headed to Houston to spend the rest of the weekend with my family. There were 6 adults, 4 kids, and 3 dogs at my parents' house so Christmas was just the way I like it: loud, crazy, fun, and loving. I didn't take a ton of pics b/c Delilah was a little overwhelmed. She got some GREAT presents from Mimi & PopPop and all her aunts & uncles, and we all had fun eating, drinking, and being merry. Thanks for a wonderful weekend, Mimi & Pop Pop!

I've got the hang of this, Mom!

Delilah thinks it's hilarious that 'cheese' means both food and to smile. Anytime you say 'cheese' while holding a camera she totally hams it up. Case in point:
Despite all 4 kids being on some kind of moving toy, this is the closest we came to a collision:

It's a little hard to see everything in this picture, but here's Brenden on a scooter, Delilah on her trike, and Cameron & Ashton throwing a football in my parent's driveway. Despite the lighting, how could I not photograph such a Rockwellian moment?

Aunt Jenny in a UT Snuggy...the new kind of Rockwellian moment. :)

Runyon hiding in a hallway, taking a break.

Reading with Pop Pop. So sweet.

Totally wiped.
We headed to my brother's house on Sunday morning, but there are no pictures b/c the camera battery had died by then. :( It's too bad, b/c we could have had some great shots of Red playing with her red cousins!

Hope everyone had a very merry and blessed Christmas!!

(Side note: I just added 3 pics to the bottom of my Thanksgiving post. They're not showstopping or anything, but you do get to see my super cute nephew. If you want to see them, click here)
