Christmas started this year with the Melvins and their Misfit Christmas Eve because we couldn't leave for Houston until Christmas morning. The Melvins are awesome and we had a great time. When we got home that night we opened our Christmas gifts. I am very thankful for a great pair of slippers that are super cute and a new camera! Stu received a new 21 year bottle of scotch that tastes amazing and the correct type of glasses to drink it out of...

Mister G. and Daisy wore matching attire.

Christmas morning we started off early for Houston...sadly couldn't find an open Starbucks.


Final stop: Will and Dani's House. There we had breakfast and that much needed cup of coffee. Then we waited for Luke and Morgan to get there to open presents.



Daisy and Mister wanted in on the action, mostly because there was a lot of candy involved! Gene also stopped in to open gifts with the little ones. After gifts and lunch we went outside to enjoy the nice weather.

Luke and Morgan have adopted a duck, Lilly. Lilly lives in the small pond behind their house, but she is sort of like their pet. Lucky little duck is enjoying some tortilla this Christmas morning!

Then we took a few pictures, which the boys hated....but what is Christmas without pictures!



Mister was sad that he was locked inside the gate while everyone else was outside it.


Will, Dani, Morgan, and little Luke.

And an almost complete family picture of the smiths, we were missing Stephen and Star's little zoo.

The last stop was a visit with "Lee-La" or Mrs. Ruby Lee, Stuart's Grandma. Stuart and I had some coffee, which was yummy, and a little sweet snack (or if you are me, three brownies). Had a great time with this sweet and very funny lady.

We hope that your Christmas was awesome!
~with love,
Stuart and Nicole
