Christmas in New Boston!





That's right... we had 3 Christmases this year! We drove to New Boston, TX to celebrate Christmas with the Vinson side of the family on Dec 27th. Coco and Pop were there along with Katy's Great Great Grandmother, Mimi. Cousin Sheri drove in from Waco and Uncle JP, Aunt Summer and Cousin Jay came all the way from Nashville! It makes my heart so happy to see Katy playing with her cousin. They really get along well, with minimal fighting over toys. :) Anyone with a toddler knows sharing can be an issue with more that one kid in the room.

Wednesday morning it was "Christmas" at Mimi's house. We opened gifts in our jammies and spent the day enjoying our family. Coco fed us the entire week. She loves to try new recipes and called us guinea pigs at just about every meal, but every bite was delicious!

Mimi took the gang out to a very nice dinner in Texarkana on Thursday night after visiting Granddaddy's gravesite. We also enjoyed the Vinson tradition of Family game night. There was also a ginger bread house decortaing contest, but we'll save those pics for another post. Too many to get to today :)

Enjoy the pictures and  your weekend!

Katy and her Pop all bundled up and ready to go outside.

Coco and her strawberry tree (another new recipe she tried. I think it turmed out cute!)

Jay got a new truck!

Jay is walking!!
For those that don't follow Summer's blog, here's the story on Jay walking: His physical therapist suggested him using Walking Wings (sort-of like a harness you would put on a dog) to help him walk. On Dec 14th Jay decided he would stand alone while gripping the top of his Walking Wings for support. Then he took his first steps! By Christmas he was walking.... but he still grabs his clothes for support. It is so cute and funny!

I love this picture.
It is taken at the cemetery where Rich's Granddaddy is buried. The family is standing at his grave and it appears that Granddaddy is looking in on us from the tree tops.

Family Game Night!
Loaded Questions was the game this time. We learned a lot about one another :)
