Christmas in Kerrville

We left for Kerrville on Christmas Eve and stayed at Grammie and Pop's house, along with Lauren and Trevor. That evening we all went to the Christmas Eve service at the church I grew up in and Ainslee did surprisingly well. We had our traditional chili and tamales dinner with my grandparents and enjoyed all the yummy sweets Grammie had made.



Apparently Ainslee had been a very good girl all year, because Santa made a little visit to Grammie and Pop's house that night. Of course, we have the only child who sleeps until 9:45 on Christmas morning! Even better though, was when Daddy asked if she wanted to see what Santa brought, she replied "no." She just wanted her breakfast. After a while she wandered over to the tree and quickly examined the new things Santa had left, although she seemed less than thrilled. Let's just say Santa may not be so motivated next year.... :)



She LOVED the toy cash register from Uncle "Twevor" and Aunt "Yo"


We had a great time enjoying each others company and had a wonderful Christmas lunch with my grandparents. That evening we went to see Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Travis, for Christmas number 2! By that time, Ainslee had really gotten the hang of the presents thing and was eager to pass out presents to everyone. It is so nice to get to see both of our families on Christmas day. Jason's extended family came in from Mount Pleasant and Louisiana the day after Christmas, so we were able to spend some time with lots of our family this year. We had a wonderful Christmas break celebrating the birth of Jesus, something that I think Ainslee was able to some what understand this year. She loved playing with her own Nativity set and talked about baby "Dedus" a lot. I can't wait to see how much more she can grasp next Christmas!
The amazing rocking horse Grandpa made her!
Surrounded by GG and Grandma- lots of love!
