Christmas in Texas Part 2

After staying at my grandma's house, we met back up with the rest of my family and had another family Christmas with my Grandma Kathleen. It was so much fun because I was able to see alot of relatives there that I hadn't seen since my wedding!

Uncle Rudy with his kids and some of my siblings

My mom and my Aunt Laura

My dad and my Aunt Azure

Joseph with some of his Christmas swag

My grandpa finally got to meet Skyler!

After Christmas with that side of the family, we drove back down to Houston. One of my favorite parts of the whole trip was taking Skyler to Rudy's BBQ with my family. It is pretty famous in Houston and I knew Skyler needed to experience "authentic" Texas BBQ;)

My mom all guzzied up to go out to dinner

The famous sauce

Love<3

Skyler loved it:)

That night we spent lots of time watching movies in my Dad's new theater room. As you can see from the picture below Jacqueline had quite the time lol.

She is so funny!

The Princess turned 3! Her actual bday was December 15th but since we weren't there yet the party was delayed until New Years!

Sassy Pants..

Cute decorations

Silly girl

The banner my mom made

Buddies<3

Blowing out the candle

My cute parents

I love this little one so much, and already miss her loads!

New Years was so much fun! I hadn't been home for a New Years since elementary school so I didn't know what to expect, but it was a BLAST! Literally...Houston allows fireworks so around New Years Eve and the 4th of July the area turns into World War III. My dad bought tons of fireworks and we spent hours shooting them off, eating yummy food, and laughing. Definitely one of the best New Years I have ever had<3


Funny/ Sad story..my brother Jacob decided it would be a good idea to light several boxes of sparklers at once...the flames definitely engulfed his hand and he is now missing lots of hair..I'm sure he learned his lesson lol...
