Presents and More Presents: Texas Christmas Part 2

 Most of Christmas and Christmas Eve were spent around the house enjoying each others' company. We had an amazing dinner and did a short program on Christmas Eve, followed by each of us opening one present.
 Tim got a fun Marble Run from his parents.
Anticipation as the kids are on their way to see what Santa had brought them!
 Lego's and a Transformers Boulder!!!
 Ty got a fun Hungry Hungry Hippo game from Matthew and Mackenzie!
 Lucy got her own set of Lego's because she likes them every bit as much as Ty does!
 Hanging out.

 Such fun and great gifts!
Christmas evening, we ate another amazing dinner followed by figgy pudding. Mmm! Pretty and delicious!
Playing on Christmas and the days after:
Ty got an awesome Nature Kit, handmade by Grandma Diney. He and Matthew enjoyed going to "do nature." We took them to Landa park the day after Christmas (because everyone else was sick), and Ty caught a bee! Luckily, he didn't get stung.
As mentioned above, more than half of the household got sick. Really sick. It was like living in a zombie apocalypse movie when one person after another ended up hovered over a toilet then disappeared to their room. We are so lucky none of our family got sick (we had something similar a few months before, maybe it was the same thing???), but we tried to stay out of the house. The weather was amazing, so we ate dinner at a Greek Restaurant and walked around a great San Antonio neighborhood to see their lights!
