Christmas & New Years' Eve

we did our own family Christmas here in Texas. the kids were so cute. then we travelled to Enid for a fun, but quick Christmas with Jenn's family. after a few short days there, we drove to Kev's family in Tulsa for another fun family Christmas.

they love their new bean bags, and puppy and elmo and princess shoes, and, and, and...

Oh my gosh what a busy Christmas you all had! Hope it was Merry and wishing you a happy new year from Florida!
LOVE Myah's hair cut! Seeing her pics is making me feel much better about the fact that Julia's time is coming too! Can't believe how big Eli is getting! You have a beautiful family Jen, wish you only the best in 2009!
