Holly, Jolly Christmas

Images from our Christmas holiday ... HE is the reason for the Season!

The boys wearing their jamies from Santa at home on Christmas Eve.



Kellen, Kieper and Cousin Morgan celebrating at Nana & Papa Pate's house.


Two little German boys (lederhosen a special gift from my Auntie Karen & Uncle Richard).



Who needs pants when you're opening Christmas presents? (Trust me, this is the least embarrassing of the photos ... we'll save THOSE to show to his first serious girlfriend.)




"Old Dude" on pants patrol. It was Gram-Gram and Old Dude's first Texas Christmas.



Karsten sleeping through his first Christmas.




Visiting Mama & Papa Wilson (Kevin's grandparents) in DeQuincy, Louisiana right after Christmas.


Kellen and Karsten meet Santa (Kieper wanted no part of Old St. Nick) at Stonebriar CC (Nana, Papa, Gram-Gram and Old Dude joined us for the Santa brunch).


The boys made tracks to the holiday train exhibit at NorthPark Center (and Mommy learned that she really could handle all three boys at the mall by herself).


Kel's friend Princess Sydney teaching him how to dance on Christmas Eve.



Kevin's Mom and Aunts (L-R) Kyra, Judy and Regina Kay visit us in Frisco during December.
