And Hearts Will be Glowing When Loved Ones Are Near

Our first Christmas celebration was in Dallas this year with the Locklear family. It is always a great (and loud) time when the Locklear siblings get together, and this year was no exception! We all dearly missed Lindsay, who was celebrating her first married Christmas with CJ in Virginia, but thanks to facebook and texting, they got to see pictures of everything we did almost immediately!

You'll have to take my word for it that we had lots of quality family time, because my picture taking was an epic fail. I focused a bit way too much on it being Annie's first Christmas and seriously neglected everyone else. So, here is Annie's Christmas in Dallas...

One semi-successful cousin picture



And the present-opening can begin! The boys got Ninja Turtle and superhero gifts, which allowed for many battles in the next few days. Annie got her first doll from Papaw and Melly, and especially enjoyed the ribbon.



Photo ops with the aunts and uncles


I did at least try to get Cade in these pictures, but he was too busy playing with Xavier. Those two are best cousin friends and love every minute with each other!

We had a wonderful Christmas with you, Papaw and Melly! Thank you for having us and for all you do for us!
