Last Thursday we packed up the car and headed south to Alice for the holidays.
Car neatly packed. Jason's Christmas present from my parents is that nice bike rack you see up there. I almost took the bike out on tree limbs when we pulled into my parents' driveway. Then before we headed home today, I almost took out the bike rack. Opps. I really don't hate your Christmas present, Jason, I swear.
Friday was pretty lazy. I helped my mom make Christmas cookies. I was responsible for the sprinkles.
Friday evening we headed to Family H's for Christmas eve.
Opening presents over there is always fun. We start with the youngest and go around opening one present each. Then it's pretty much a free for all.
The boys got sunglasses and watches from Uncle Boomer. 
Modeling their bounty.
Debbie got lots of shirts. If only I could share a related story of this t-shirt. But I'll be classy, and leave it alone.
My parents joined us later in the evening for games.
Saturday morning, we opened presents with my folks.
Doesn't my mom's new tree look nice?
It was a nice quiet Christmas with the fam.
Me handing out presents. I love my new Scrabble pajama bottoms Jordan got me.
Mom's new house numbers. I think they will look lovely out front.
All of my Dad's presents revolved around one theme. Indian. Here is my Dad admiring an Indian shot glass. Have fun at college, Dad!
Jason with our new snow globe.
Christmas lunch was BBQ brisket, Spanish rice, beans, and potato salad. My grandparents, uncle, and cousins joined us.
Sunday evening, Trey and Melanie came down. Here is Mel opening a present for Baby Jackson - a cute pair of Carhartt overalls.
The rest of our time down South was pretty quiet. Battled the rain on the way home today. It's nice being back, though. The first thing Jason said when we walked through the door was, "I really like our home." So do I, Jason. So do I. :)
