A TEXAS CHRISTMAS

Our holiday started with a visit from Grandma J and Papaw.
Even though we each had a cold, we managed to stay in the festive spirit. Grandma J and Papaw gave us new aprons with our names on them. We wore them with pride as we decorated Christmas sugar cookies. Grandma J told us that she wants to make cookies every year, as one of our family traditions.
We told her..."GOOD IDEA". We really love Grandma J and Papaw!!

On Christmas Eve, Grandma J and Papaw had to fly back to NC. They wanted to spend Christmas with Granny, GG, Gpa, Aunt Jo, and Tio Josh. Although it was sad to see them leave, we understood.

We celebrated Christmas at our Tio Tonio's house. All of our tios and primos were there...wow, there were a lot of people! We ate Posole, Tamales, and Tostados. Once midnight struck, we sang christmas songs and read christmas prayers...all in Spanish... AND...we exchanged presents...the best part of all!!
MaMa and Dada told us that it was a special night and we stayed up until 2:30am! Can you believe it? FUN!! FUN!! FUN!!
