Our Santa Fe Christmas

We just got back from a short but sweet trip to the Houston area (Santa Fe) for Christmas at Sue's... Mom, all four sibs and families were there. Thank You to The Wilsons for ALL the hospitality and great meals. And thanks to EVERYONE for spoiling the boys with lovea and attention and Toys... We spent the night on Saturday, then headed back. We brought La La (Lauren) back with us.... Sue will be here for the bday party next weekend and bring her home then. Looking forward to a fun week with La La, and looking forward to a little extra help!!
Lawson and Bristol had fun playing, but couldn't sit still for many photo opp's....

Another Regrouping

Once again, we need to regroup. Papa Paul and Grandma Mary will leave in the am to go back to NY, and our family of 4 will head on to Houston area for the Lucek Family Christmas.... Been looking forward to this for a long time, can't wait to get there....

Three Generations of Boys....

Like Father Like Son....

Grandma Mary got her work out while she was visiting. AND she learned about emptying the dishwasher five times a day....
Great idea: Monkey headphones for the kids for the trip to Houston. Now we won't have to listen to their movies. Lawson seems to think everytime he has on the headphones he also needs to have on his sunglasses....

My new friend.....

And Lawson got a Harley ride on toy that he loves. MOMMY got that professional Kitchen Aid Stainless Mixer and she is SO EXCITED. I also got 3 bottles of new perfumes and a lower back massager....
