Christmas in Texas

December 25, 2013 Wednesday

When it's Christmas time in Texas
It's a very special time for me
In Texas we'll be swingin'
Around the Christmas tree
Dancin' to a Christmas melody
When it's Christmas time in Texas
It might look just like a summer day

We got up early on Christmas Day to catch a plane to Texas.  We flew into Love Field then drove over to Dallas Ft Worth Airport to pick up Noah.  Noah was flying in from Louisville.  We got him and then headed to Jen and Brian's house.  When we got there both boys were taking their naps and Jen and Brian were working on dinner.

Luke and Sawyer woke up and we played with them while dinner was cooking.  Jen and Brian had a brisket, homemade twice baked potatoes, purple, orange and yellow cauliflower.  Dinner was delicious!

After dinner it was time for presents.

Merry Texas Christmas You All

We have no jingle bells or sleigh
To display on Christmas Day
There’s not much snow down Texas way
But we sure mean it when we say
Merry Texas Christmas you all

Merry Texas Christmas you all
May your days be sunny and bright
May your hearts be happy and light
Merry Texas Christmas you all

It was a relaxing day of playing with new toys, going to the playground and just having fun.

For dinner Jen fixed a Cafe Rio dinner salad. Jen even made homemade tortillas!  One of her favorite restaurants in Utah.  They are expanding and we ate with her at the one in Lake Forest before they moved to Texas.

More fun today.  For lunch we took Noah to Carl's Jr.  He goes into withdrawls from not eating there, and don't try and tell him the Hardee's in Louisville is the same.  That night we went to Courtney's and David's for dinner.  Lasgana.  Oh, it was good!  Courtney and David are awesome hosts.

I went to Dunkin' Donuts and got my coffee.  They are finally coming to California so now  I won't have to make it a must visit in Texas.

Courtney and David picked Noah up and they went to a sports bar to watch Louisville vs Kentucky basketball game.  Not a good day for Louisville, but they are the defending Champions.

For dinner we had Chinese food from China Star.

Leaving Texas today.  Noah back to Louisville and Bridget and I back to San Diego.  Never save the last day for group pictures, but we always forget that.  Jen and Brian fixed Waffles, Eggs, Bacon for brunch.
