Merry Christmas!!!

 

Merry Christmas everyone! Wow, we had a blessed one this year :) Having a baby at Christmas time is priceless and so much fun!

Let me start our journey by saying this...I am astonished how my Dylan Avery is not afraid one bit of Santa Claus. Never shed a tear and in fact would run back to him after her turn. I love it,but should I be worried that she isn't afraid of old harry men?! HA

 This is my favorite Dylan and Santa picture!

 Breakfast with Santa at Neiman Marcus

 Gran came all the way from FTW to have fancy breakfast with Dylan

 Santa giving Dylan reindeer food!

 We did a tour of Texas again for Christmas... Our first leg was from Katy,Tx. to Cross Plains,Tx.

 Dylan got to open an early gift from her GAM and Dick

 It was a mini trampoline!!!

 Love Christmas at the ranch!

 As we were packing up all our goodies I snapped this picture of Dylan and my cousins dog,Ozzy!

Seems like they are saying "I will miss you"

 Early Monday morning we left Cross Plains and headed to a pit stop in Fort Worth at my parents house for lunch. My parents were at the ranch too,but the drive is easier with a little stop.

Right as we got on the highway to head to Marshall for Ryan's family Christmas this happened...

hee hee!

 Pep and Papa set the table for the babies with Santa and Mrs.Claus. It was cute!

 Love Dylan's expression Christmas morning when she found Santa brought her gifts!

 Everyone else had lots of white,but this is about all the snow we saw.

 This is Uncle Ryan and Warren's thing! Makes me laugh every time I see this...

 Dylan is showing her love of ice to the rest of the babies...Cami included!

 Our blessed little family!

We had the most amazing time with all our family members and though the travel was long and we looked like the Clampits,it was a wonderful Christmas holiday!

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Ready to ring in 2013

Lots of Love,
Cari and Dylan

 On Friday, Nov. 23 we left Spring Mesa and drove to Fort Worth to spend the night before we drove to Allen/Dallas to do Thanksgiving with the Hall family.

 Saturday, Nov. 24 we made it to Allen,Texas at 10am to have lunch with Ryan's side of the family at Pam and Ray's house. It was very good and Dylan had a lot of fun playing with Warren!
