Christmas Part 3



We spent the last 2 days in Tyler at my dad's.  We had a great time and Christmas there was wonderful.  We had a lot of fun.  I enjoy spending Christmas at the lake just as much in the winter as I do in the summer.  It's so cozy and my dad always has a good wood burning fire going.  I love the smell of a good fire.

The kids bundled up a few times to go down and feed the ducks.  It was COLD, but they didn't seem to mind.  We bundled Hayes up just for the pictures.  He of course did not go.  :)  I'm sure next year he will be right in the mix.  The kids had a lot of fun playing together.  Camden is so cute and so funny.  He adores his cousins and they adore him.  I love watching them all together.  We had many good meals and lots of fun family time.  Sweet memories were made.





 I think the pictures above are so great.  Everyone looks like they are having fun.

 One afternoon we loaded up in the back of my dad's truck.  There were tons of blankets, hot chocolate & marshmallows.  We drove right around where they live to go feed the ducks and horses.  They were all so cold back there and it was hilarious listening to them sing Christmas carols and different songs.  Dad drove us while Hayes and I sat shotgun in the HEAT.    Hayes slept the entire 'ride'.  It was really fun.  The kids loved sitting in the back of the truck and having hot chocolate. 



I looove this picture of Huddy and Ace.  Oh how he's so handsome.  Those eyes.









Such a cute bunch....Camden loves his Huddy.

I love this family.
We left Saturday morning to head back to San Antonio.  The kids did great heading back too.  We had so much fun being home for Christmas.  We can't wait to go back again soon.
How GORGEOUS is this boy????  That shaggy hair, brown eyes, sweet smile, and DIMPLE....oh he is a heart breaker for sure!!!



I love seeing the sweet friendship bonding between Holton and Camden.  They are just 5 months apart and the age gap is beginning to shrink.  They are so cute together.

Look at all those trains and cars all over the floor---Little boys at play!

Nana getting some good tickling in.  :)
