December recap

December was a month full of fun!! Barrett and Brooklyn both had celebrations at school. We made lots of cookies and decorated a gingerbread house. We went to the Zilker tree and trail of lights.

Derek and I had our annual Christmas party. This year it was adults only and we had a wine tasting competition. It was a good time and we all enjoyed hanging out together with friends.

We went to Johnson City to see the huge light display there. It was so amzing to see all of the lights and displays.

We spent Christmas Eve together as a family here in Austin. The kids spent the night in our room and woke up very early since they were so excited to see what Santa had brought them. We spent the morning as a family opening presents, hanging out together and eating a big breakfast before we headed to Houston.

We drove to Houston on Christmas day and spent the weekend with Derek's side of the family. We had a good time together and the kids really enjoyed hanging with their cousins. We had lots of fun too!! We also got to spend some time with my parents before coming back home.

We spent the week of New Year's being lazy. We went to a party New Year's at our friends the Walker's and enjoyed ringing in the new year with friends.

We relaxed over the break and enjoyed Derek being off work. Now it is back to school and work and the routine.
