Christmas '07

Another holiday season came and then flew by yet again! For whatever reason, this year more than ever seemed really fast...does this mean I'm getting old?? Regardless, it was a great time. We spent the holidays up in Arlington with Leigh's parents. On the way up, we went right through the cold front pushing south, and it ended up a 35 degree difference from when we left Houston..and 0f course I was wearing flip flops and shorts. It ended up being perfect cold weather for the season and made it feel like Christmas! I did some traditional Christmas Eve shopping and then we shared the day with Leigh's parents, Rob (Leigh's brother), Erin (Rob's wife), Hanah (Rob and Erin's daughter), and Leigh's Uncle Traci. We fried a couple turkeys, ate a wonderful meal, and ended opening presents later that evening. Riley seemed to understand Christmas a little more this year, but watching Shrek and Barney was still more exciting that opening presents :-) Here's the pics from the holiday:
