We had a fabulous Christmas break! Phil was transitioning in between jobs so he had quite a bit of extra time at home. I am pretty sure my boys would not have even missed Christmas if they could stay home and wrestle with their dad all day. But to give Phil a break, we took a quick trip to SeaWorld in San Antonio. It was a lovely day. Sam was even brave enough to ride one of the big rides with his dad.
We talked to Santa before Christmas. Sam was a little shy. Luke warmed up to him once I told him he got a candy cane if he gave Santa a hug. We had a lovely Christmas Eve with cousins, which included decorating cookies, acting out the nativity, and opening new Christmas pajamas, made by mama.
Christmas day was a little magical. They boys only asked for one present each this year and were truly thrilled to receive it. Wade learned a whole bunch of Christmas songs this year, and even now we find him still humming them to himself. The best Christmas present we received this year was a visit from my parents. They boys were in heaven....for a whole week. We all got a little teary eyed when they went home.
Lucky for us, the separation will be short. Phil started a new job with Ebay this week, located back in Salt Lake City. We are staying in Houston until school is out, when we plan to move back to Utah. 2015 should bring another adventure for us, and we can't wait.

What a great holiday your family had! Your family is so darling Jennie! And congrats to Phil on his new job, and moving to Utah. That should be really exciting!
It's fun to see pictures of your Mom. Congrats on the new job. We'll definitely have to have a clogging reunion when you move back. Maybe you'll have to take up clogging again once you're back. It's like riding a bike!
Yay for moving back! Those boys are so cute and your pictures are always awesome!
