We went to Mimi and Johnny's in Cameron to celebrate with the Youngblood (mimi's) Family on Christmas Eve. We made sure we put out the reindeer food that night before going to bed as well as a chocolate Chirstmas cupcake and a Dr. Pepper for Santa. We put Dr. Pepper out at our house too before we left. Santa left a note saying that he really enjoyed the Dr. Pepper, it was a nice change from all that milk :) We had a lot of fun with Mimi and Johnny and the kids really liked all their gifts.

On 12-20-10 we took Landon and Kylee to Palestine to ride the Polar Express. It was so much FUN. Mimi and Johnny met us there and rode it with us too. They gave us hot chocolate on the train and Christmas Rice Krispie Treats as the ready the story of the Polar Express. Once we made it to the North Pole there was lots of lights and Santa was there. He boarded the train with us and we sang Christmas Carols all the way back to the depot while Santa took pictures with all the kids, signed their train tickets, and gave them a bell. It was a perfect Christmas trip.

I turned 31 on 12-19-10, and while I was gone to evening church service Clint helped Landon and Kylee make me birthday cards. They used my craft stamp supplies, and turned out so cute.

After the Montgomery Christmas Landon and Kylee went riding their horses, and then we went to Codeman and Yaya's for chili and a marshmallow roast. The kids love to roast marshmallows and there is nothing like 5 kids with flaming marshallows! :) I love just hanging out with family and letting all the kids play. And of course it always ends in a slumber party at our house :) So we got home and had pizza at 11:00 before bed. CrAzY Kids!!

I follow A LOT of craft blogs and see lots of cute ideas. Problem is when I repeat them, I have trouble remembering where I found them to give them credit. So in other words...I did not make this M&M Nativity Legend up. I just added Montgomery Christmas 2010 to the bottom of it for us to hand out to all of the kids at our Montgomery Family Christmas this weekend.

Landon and I did a little crafting today. I saw this online somewhere and decided it would be fun for us to do together. I gathered some paint I had stored at Pappo's house to do it with. I only thought I had white paint, come to find out it was fabric medium, so it wasn't as white and snowy as I wanted it to be once it dried. But, I think it is still too cute.

Friday night (12-10-10) Clint and I took Landon to Marble Falls and Johnson City to see the Christmas lights. Grandma also came from Houston to join us. The lights were amazing! WAY worth the drive in my opinion. We stopped in Marble Falls first and went through the walkway of lights along Lake Marble Falls. Then we went on to Johnson City to see the Perdenales Building and court house. The lights at PEC were worth the drive themselves. We also went on a carriage ride around the streets to see the lights. Santa was there, and of course Landon wasn't too sure of him as usual. We all had to take our pic with him. :) I LOVE Christmas lights. We go to BLORA every year too so hopefully I can convince Clint to go again this year.
