CHRISTMAS!!

Well, if you are reading this, then you did not lose hope in me actually posting some Christmas pictures on this blog!  It is January 14th as I write this.  Thank you for believing in me!  :)
Here is our handsome Jordan at the Preston Center Christmas tree.  Jaron would not sit still for this picture, but Jordan looks great!
Well, for those of you who didn't get to see, here is part of our Christmas decor this year.  Our Christmas tree fit nicely on top of our piano, and so the ornaments were safe from you-know-who.
Merry Christmas from Jordan!
Here's Jaron wearing some glasses from a toy Jordan got.  This was the first time Jaron was saying "cheese" for the camera.
On the 23rd and 24th, we had Cary's parents in town for Christmas.  We had a great time eating Bawpaw's gumbo, playing Legos and opening presents!
Jordan with Grammy and Bawpaw
Sandra (Cary's mom) and I have a lovely tradition of going to a holiday tea around Christmas time.  This year we went to the Dallas Arboretum.  :)
Jordan and Grammy hanging out.

On December 23rd, we borrowed this 1975 Cadillac convertible from some friends.  We bundled up and drove it around town to see the Christmas lights!  We sang Christmas carols the whole way....SO fun!
Merry Christmas morning!!  Jordan got a plasma car from Mimi, and as you can see he really enjoys riding it around.
Here's Jaron with his new stuffed doggy from Santa.  He's also taking a look at the empty plate and milk mug next to the fireplace....where did the cookies go?
Christmas morning with our boys....Jaron insisted on wearing his new shoes with his pajamas.
Cara's favorite Christmas present.  :)
It seems like there is nothing better than Christmas morning, pajamas, gingerbread pancakes, new toys, and our sweet boys and all of us together.  
More presents!
Daddy wanted to ride the plasma car too!

Mimi came over to see what Santa brought!
Jaron using his new hammer....sorry about the sideways picture....I am too lazy to go back and fix it!
Jaron thought he would wear some big boy shoes for Christmas Day.
On Christmas Day, we went out to Mammas and Poppop's house in Plano for some more fun.
Mimi got Jaron a new guitar!
Here's Jaron with his best friend Ava.  They got to jump on Ava's new trampoline!

Here is Mimi giving Jaron a taste of a real Christmas treat....chocolate chip cookies.  This gives new meaning to "you can't eat just one."
Look at this adorable family...Ben and Ingrid Caswell and their cute kids Bryce and Roxanne.  They came to hang out for a while after Christmas.
Jordan with his buddies.
Yeah!!  Aunt Kimmy is here!  Kim got in on the 26th, and Jaron got to spend 2 days with Kimmy and Mimi while Cary and I went to Fort Worth for our anniversary.
Kim got Jaron a Mr. Potato Head, and it is one of his favorite toys.  He loves to put on the glasses to look like Dada!
Jordan with Poppop
Ava and her "Jo Jo"


Okay, I know all 3 of this pictures are almost the same, but I couldn't pick just one.  Cary and I spent 2 days in Fort Worth together for our 3 year anniversary!  It was such a fun and relaxing time.  We ate dinner one night at Lonesome Dove at the Fort Worth Stockyards.  It was awesome!
On January 1st, we had a New Year's Day Christmas with the McNeese family, and it was a blast!  Here is Jordan with Owen, my cousin Natalie's little guy.  They were the big boys of the day.  My aunt Suzie even got a bouncy house for them.
Owen got a cool Spiderman bike, and as you can see, Jaron was a bit jealous.  Fortunately, Owen is cool with sharing.
Jaron and Grandaddy
Jordan opening more presents!
Fun times with Aunt Kimmy!
My cousin Natalie and her husband Michael
My cousin Lee and his wife, Stephanie (again, sorry ya'll are sideways).

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
