Christmas Weekend

Family galore! We celebrate my dads side of the family in early December. This is a tradition that I continue to look forward to, even as dad has passed! We love that side of our family! Kids and cousins fill my house for days! It is epic memories!

My cousin, Sarah, and her family stay the weekend with us. She has 4 young kids, so my kids have a blast. My house takes a beating, but our hearts are full! Aunt Sandra and Lauran (dads sisters) are missing dad so much as the holidays pass. Chad and Veronica came in town too. Of course, my kids are obsessed with Jim, Rebecca and Gabriella! It is such treasured time!

After our family party, we got on our swimsuits....yes, swimsuits! Hot Houston!! We walked down to Beau and Kates house to swim. Then, ordered pizza and got ready for our next adventure. Westside Lazy River lights!! We loaded the floats and rode the river and loved the lights!

The Christmas lights are so amazing, so much detail! The adults loved it as much as the kids! Club Westside is a favorite family attraction for sure! Then, we let all the cousins burn off energy playing in their sports zone! We made it back home to fill up our backyard lodge for movie time...and for the adults to visit inside! We finished off the weekend with hours of family dodgeball! Hunter got dodgeballs as a gift from Ally, so we broke them in and had a blast! It was a weekend full of family, Christmas, memories and love!
