Merry Christmas everyone!  We had a fantastic Christmas around here.  Thursday and Friday we were in La Grange where we got to see almost my Mom's whole side of the family.  We saw all of my second cousins who I haven't seen in two years and it was great.  Luke took his first trip to church on Christmas Eve when we went to Mimi Shank's Lutheran Church.  I loved the part where we lit candles and sang Silent Night.  I was even "silent" for the whole song!  After church we opened a few presents at Mimi's house and then headed over to Mimi Roitsch's house to play with all of the cousins.  We ran around the house ringing bells and eating cookies and tickle tackling each other.  It was great!  Christmas Day we woke up at Blackjack and it was time to head back to Austin so that we could have our Christmas.  This morning I woke up and had so much fun opening all of my great presents!  Uncle John gave me the biggest pink bean bag I have EVER seen!  Luke got a maroon one.  I love jumping from one to the other and from my new slide that Gigi gave me onto the bean bags.  I also got the Wonder Pets flyboat, a Dora  fishing pole, a fun dress up skirt, shoes, and jewelry set, a wiener dog purse, and a few other things.  Luke got a blanket and his big chair with his name on it.  And then there is the Jeep from Popo.  I spent the whole morning driving around the front yard and the street in it.  I can't wait to cruise down the road at Blackjack!  Popo, Gigi and Uncle John just left and I sure do miss them already.  Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!
