Eli drawing out a block labeled with a profession, a prediction of his future occupation. This was a Red Envelope version of a Chinese tradition, given to us by Aimee before Eli was born. His pick? Peacekeeper. I think I'm okay with that.
Opening gifts from Santa, with a little help from Daddy. This one was a farmer and animals on a tractor. He also got luggage from us, but that's not really exciting to a one year old!
Where Eli spent most of his Christmas evening while the rest of us opened presents with Holly's parents. We weren't complaining, it was way past his bedtime! All he needed was a handful of bows and a big gift to sit on. Nevermind that it wasn't even his, but Nana's and Papa's.
Getting reaquainted with his cousins, Jared in the Romo jersey and Tyler in Crabtree's. What a precious photo that I don't even remember taking!
Celebrating Christmas at Pops and Grandma's. Eli has just opened his Leap Frog Fridge DJ that counts down the hits. He also got the Leap Frog Fridge Carwash which is entertaining even for me. .
Presents and abundant food aside, we did have a nice Christmas. Our plans changed unexpectedly when Justin's grandad passed away on Christmas Eve. We came back to the Dallas area from West Texas on Friday evening for the Saturday funeral. Sunday was spent with Justin's parents and grandmother.

Hope you all had a joyous Christmas and have had a Happy New Year so far!

Hey Justin,
So sorry to hear about your grandfather. That's not a fun way to spend your Christmas. But I'm glad you were able to be around family to make it more bearable.

Yes, very sorry to hear about Justin's grandfather...
I am sorry about your grandfather. Please know you are in our prayers...
I love that Eli will be a peacekeeper (hopefully not like the George Clooney's Peacekeeper with all the guns and stuff). Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.
