Merry Christmas From The Family

We escaped to Dallas for Christmas this year...although we just barely made it out of DC. We missed a massive snowstorm that hit our route directly by about an hour and a half -- apparently, our house got about 20 in. of snow -- crazy! Our cross-country drive was fairly uneventful, and we made it to Dallas just in time to grab Freebirds for lunch.

We had an awesome time hanging out with my family and friends, and we even had a white Christmas in Dallas (first time in like 80 years). I'll let the photos do the talking:

Reggie had a ton of fun hanging out with Uncle Hobby and Aunt Kora.



Kate and I had a day full of fun -- went to the Galleria, ate Five Guys, watched people ice skate, came home and made a cheese ball, and painted our nails green and red for Christmas.



My mom and I made "the cake" otherwise known as the Blackberry Jam Cake with caramel frosting -- this thing is huge -- and delicious! (We had to use almost every bowl at my parents house to make it.)





We made waffles for breakfast



Ate lots of good food on Christmas Eve and got to spend some QT with the fam.













Got lots of fun presents on Christmas morning.
