Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas folks! Here's our Christmas 2012 recap. Saturday morning, we packed Ellie the Edge (my beloved car) to the top and headed to San Antonio. I was traveling with Nana, Grandpa and Audrey since Neal was already in San Antonio. First stop was Uncle Bryan's to have Heiner Christmas. How cute is the Christmas baby!

Luckily we were able to kill two birds with one stone and also celebrated with Neal's side of the family while we were in San Antonio.

We got up early on Christmas Eve morning to head back to Houston. After a relaxing day, we went to the Candlelight church service. Hands down my favorite thing to do at Christmas. Audrey was asleep when we arrived at church but woke up during the processional when the choir began belting out "Oh Come All Ye Faitful". She did pretty good and I only had to walk out with her a couple of times.

After church, we ate Chinese food at Kim Son and then came home to get in our Christmas PJs. She actually sat still while I read her The Night Before Christmas.

We woke up Christmas morning and Neal cooked breakfast for all of us. The nice thing about having a 3 month old is that we didn't have to do "Santa" until about 9 am after she'd woken up from a morning nap.

Santa and his elves were very kind to Audrey. Let's just say that we're good on toys for about a year.

There were a lot of things that didn't happen this Christmas season. We never found the time to put lights on the house. I only put out about 25% of our Christmas decorations. I didn't have my all day Bake-a-thon. We didn't get to drive around to see the good Christmas lights. We weren't able to see a Christmas play/musical/program. It's a small miracle that this post is even getting written before the new year. In the grand scheme of things, none of those things really matter. We were able to celebrate the birth of Christ with the best little Christmas present ever. Merry First Christmas Audrey!
