Christmas

I just want to thank all of you for your support and love!
That is what made our Christmas so special!

So on Christmas Eve we were spent. We had been up since 5:00 am moving into our house. We had been invited to a Christmas Eve dinner at some ward members up in Mont Belvieu, but come time to leave we could barely walk let a lone go to a party. We had to run to Wal-Mart to get a few things for the house and we realized we had no food for dinner. We were going to just grab a frozen pizza but the decided to go out. So we had Christmas Eve dinner at Chili’s, we were happy, no mess and no stress.

We had Christmas Dinner with the Cobabes and there cousins. It has wonderful. Young shin made a delicious ham, sweet potatoes, a cranberry jello, and a fun cranberry cocktail. I brought potatoes a veggie tray rolls, and corn!
This year with moving into our home on the 24th and all the expenses of a new home we didn’t buy to much extra stuff for Christmas, but we couldn’t be happier. Brett’s family has a awesome tradition they call “food sacks” (it was started by Brett’s grandma Loveridge were on Christmas Eve she would give each child a bag of food/treats that they might not have been able to get during the year. I love treats and was more than happy to keep this tradition going) So we each picked out two items for our “food sacks”. I got mint melano cookies and egg nogg, Brett got A&W cream soda and gummy worms. Then I got baskets for the house from Brett and I got him a sports jacket. We also got wonderful things from our parents and siblings! Thanks guys, We loved all of it, it was perfect!!!!!

You know... Same old story. We have a new girl named Maegan. You can find her blog on my side bar. Mark's twins are still so tiny, he brings them in once a week.
Nothing exciting. No one is pregnant. :)
Yeah puppies are a total handful. At first, they are just hard as kids I think. Yeah I will add you to my friend's list so i can keep up.
Do you like Houston?
