Christmas Trip to Dallas - Gaylord ICE and Dinner with Hailey

12/19/15 After traveling to Dallas today, we met Hailey and her parents for dinner.  We had a nice visit, and Hailey and Jacen had fun playing!!!  Hailey is also very sweet and got Jacen gifts for Christmas!

12/20/15 Jacen and Mommy playing in the hotel courtyard while waiting on Grandma to get to Dallas from Goldthwaite :)

Once Grandma got there, we went to the Gaylord to see the ICE exhibit, look at their wonderful decorations, and snow tube.  We had lots of fun, but it was very cold!!!

I think Jacen had fun :)

Then we went back to the hotel and opened presents from Grandma for Christmas!!!

Jacen was very excited to get a 2nd controller for his XBox One!!!!

December 2015 Part 2

12/16/15 Kyle running technology during the children's Wednesday night Bible class time :)

12/17/15 Christmas Party Day!!  They had a Grinchmas Christmas party that started out with wearing pajamas, bringing stuffed animals, pillows, and blankets, and having Donuts for breakfast!  He was excited to tell me he made a healthy choice by choosing water to go with his donuts :)  Silly boy!  Love him!  I wasn't actually able to hang out at the party because I needed to be in my classroom, but I know that they had lots of fun at the Grinchmas stations!!!

I went back to check in again later and they were about to start their movie.  They watched the Grinch!!

While I was down there, I took a pic of his artwork in the hallway!  Cute!!

Then I went back by during my conference :)

12/18/15 Jacen brought him Grinch home today, so I snapped a pic in my classroom before we left the building for Christmas break!!!

12/12/15 The Nutcracker and Christmas Lights

We went to see The Nutcracker by Ballet Lubbock.  We couldn't take pictures during the performance, but we got some before and after pics.  We had a lot of fun!  Jacen even got to meet some of the performers and take some fun pics with props :)

Then that evening, we loaded up in the car with our pajamas and hot chocolate to look at Christmas lights on a rainy day!

Stopped looking at lights set to music by our house!

Lights on Texas Tech campus!

Lights at Wayland Baptist University set to music!

Daddy got Jacen a Nutcracker as a souvenir, so I had him take a picture the next day in front of our Christmas tree!
