Christmas at Grammy & Grampy's

On Saturday we celebrated Christmas with Grampy, Grammy, Mimi, Dondi, Roy & the boys. Ev received so many wonderful gifts; including an activity table that plays music, Baby Einstein videos, big boy pajamas, his very first pair of Converse sneakers, a puppy dog blankie, UT Longhorn onesie, and more toys than we have room for in our house :) We had lunch with everyone then watched one of my all-time favorite movies, Fried Green Tomatoes . Deona, Ev & I spent the night so Grammy & Grampy could spend more time with Ev and would also allow his moms to sleep in. Dreamy. :)

Disney World

Here are some pictures from our Disney World family vacation.
Deona will be posting all about our vacation soon (since I was mostly confined to our hotel room, due to illness).
