The holidays are over and we are back in OH. Hard to believe. I seriously freaked out this morning when I woke up (at 10:30 am) and thought I was supposed to be at work this morning. Thankfully, I was wrong and we had one more day to get our stuff unpacked and repacked for the work day!
We had such a great time at home. It's hard not to with a 10-day stretch filled with family and friends. We landed in Texas just in time to grab dinner with Dollar at Thai Noodle & Rice and join in on an Katy and Jay's Annual Holiday Lights Tour. It was the perfect way to start off our trip. We toured all the fancy Dallas neighborhoods on a party bus and made a few stops at some of our favorite places -- The Belmont and Stoneleigh P to name a few.
We spent Christmas Eve with my fam, as usual. We attended the Fielder service, opened presents, and then had a good Italian dinner with the Cartusciellos. It was quiet without the Rouswell clan so mom made sure to provide some entertainment by getting dad the kinect -- fun for everyone!

We spent Christmas Day with the Coles -- awaking early to open presents with Caleb and then enjoying our traditional breakfast of monkey bread and egg casserole.

We left early the next day for a quick trip to Odessa to celebrate the holidays with my mom's side of the family. We were also able to sneak away and visit with David's uncle Elton who lives in Midland.

Oh dear. The 'five golden rings' never sounded so good.
After four Christmases, we were able to settle down a bit, visit friends, and celebrate New Years.
