And we still aren't done...

Well our first Christmas celebration was a week before Christmas. Levi's parents came through San Antonio on their way to Florida and we got to enjoy an evening with them. Our second Christmas celebration was the 23rd in San Angelo. We went to dinner with my dad and step mom and sister, niece and nephew. After some yummy mexican food L and I went with J, S and T to look at the lights on the river. Our 3rd celebration came about 20 minutes after we got back to my mom's house. The 24th we got to hang out with J, S, and T again and go to lunch with my mom and step dad. We hit the road around 3 and made it back to San Antonio in time to go to HEB before they closed. That's where our good luck ended.

We set out for Red Lobster for our Christmas Eve tradition only to find that they closed 15 minutes before we got there (at 8:00). So we tried a different sea food place called Crabby Jacks. It was the strangest place we had ever been to and the people were well crabby so we left. Next we tried Outback only to find that it had closed about 2 minutes before we got there. So we settled for Salt Grass. I was pretty darn good....not bad for having to settle ;)

Thursday morning we got up and had our own little Christmas with just the two of us...my favorite kind. This was our 4th Christmas. Then we went to see Marley and Me. If you haven't seen it....GO....NOW! The rest of the day we just hung out at home spending time together.

Friday morning we slept in and just puttered around. I got ready to head back to San Angelo and Levi went in search of Guitar Hero World Tour. I headed out around 2 and got to Angelo in time for dinner. Melynda, Eric, and Jordan got there in time for dinner so we spent the evening visiting and playing.

Saturday (my 5th Christmas) was our official Christmas at my mom and Kerry's house. All of us kids and the grandkids (except Royce, Randy, Samm and Levi) were there for breakfast, presents and lunch. After a quick trip to my dad's house I was on the road again by about 4:30 to come back home.

It was been a long week and a half but it was fun and I wouldn't have traded any of it for anything (except Levi being able to be in Angelo more). I have really enjoyed this holiday season. The decorating the apartment, doing some shopping, actually doing some cooking and baking, and of course my favorite getting Christmas cards in the mail.

And after all of that....we still have an unopened present under the tree!
