Christmas Day

At the Driskill for brunch

Dad and Mom

Dad's favorite Christmas pose...cheeeese!

What Would Batman Do? I don't know Sean.

Yipppeee a GPS, now I don't have to borrow Matt's anymore.

Matt got a Wii!!!!

Mom got a Wii too! Can you tell she is a little excited!?

My family drove into Austin Christmas morning. We ate brunch at the Driskill, it was delicious! Then we came back home and opened gifts, everyone got what they wanted for Christmas. After dinner, Matthew set up the Wii. We all got really into the game! It was a wonderful Christmas, spent with all the different families. The one event I didn't put up pictures was St. Nick's with the Tillemans (Matt's dad's side of the family).

After opening gifts with the Banks and Sue, we head over the Cearlocks. This year there was about 17 people there, it's nice to catch up with everyone, some people we only see once a year.

Matthew and I have lots of mini-Christmases. This one is with his mom (Sue), sister (Pam) and her husband (Michael) along with their two kids (Kyle and Lexi). Kyle was really into passing out the gifts and helping everyone open them.
