Chris Turns 42!

For Chris' birthday the girls wanted to take him to Urban Air.  We had never been and we had so much fun! It was almost like we had the place to ourselves and we did it all in the two hours we were there.

Chris got a little sweaty.....

We surprised him with a cookie cake!

He took a birthday nap on the couch with his littlest love.

Then, we hit the town for some adult fun.

Our crew met up for dinner at Cartel Taco

Then we headed to Texas Live and the PBR bar. 
We all rode the bull!

We finished the night with some karaoke!

Christmas Day 2018

Santa came!  We woke the girls up early (5am) so that Chris could enjoy the kids seeing what Santa brought them.  It was bittersweet because he had to go to work, but it was better than nothing.  The girls and I were pretty lazy all day.  We relaxed and opened up their new toys to play with.  In the evening we went over to the Jacksons and had dinner and played ping pong.  We were so tired when we got home!

Emma got a Barbie dream house!

Polly got a race car track!

Ryan got a laptop!

Opening gifts the day after Christmas with Gran and Pawpaw

Christmas Eve

This year Christmas fell on Chris shift, so we had to change up some of our regular traditions.  We still attended Christmas Eve service and Mom hosted Christmas Eve dinner for all of us and the Coxes.  After opening gifts with Uncle, Aunt Mis and Tauri we moved to our house to finish opening gifts with Mamaw and Pa and for the girls to open all of their gifts under the tree from us.  We did each gift one by one, like we normally do, so it took a long time.  THen, we had to sprinkle reindeer food and set out cookies for Santa. We didn't end up getting the girls in bed until after 11:00.  Ryan was a little panicked that they wouldn't be asleep in time and Santa might skip our house.  Thankfully, he didn't.
