Oh what fun it is to ride....

To Austin and Waco for Christmas!! We had such a great time with our families over the Christmas holidays! We left Saturday, December 20 for Austin and stopped in Waco that afternoon to attend the annual Christmas party that Dave's mom hosts for the kids in their extended family. It was lots of fun! We continued on our journey to Austin and stayed there until Christmas Eve. A couple of highlights during our stay included: 1) Dave and I going on a date to see the Nutcracker for the first time while my parents babysat Katelyn and 2) participating in the 1st annual family Christmas dance tradition that my youngest sister Brittany created this year! You have to dance to a song of your choice before getting to open your presents (see below for pictures and see the previous post titled "Christmas Update Appetizer" for videos of the dancing). I'm pretty sure Katelyn ended up being a part of each person's dance! She was a dancing queen...or should I say princess?!

Then it was off to Waco until the 28th! We had a great time enjoying Christmas morning with Dave's mom, grandmother, aunt, and cousin! We ate some yummy homeade (not by us!) tamales for lunch too! One of the highlights of our trip was watching Katelyn play with this huge stuffed ladybug that Dave's mom was given by one of her friends!
