Thomas and I had a great Christmas. We were blessed to get to spend some good time with family and friends on Christmas Eve. We went to the candlelight service at Prestonwood with my family.  Then we came back to my parents/my house and ate dinner with me, my parents, my sister (Leanne), Thomas, and both my grandmothers. It was a great meal and a great time. Then we opened presents. It was so fun to watch Thomas this year! He had a blast. His favorite presents were his tractors, his Wiggly guitar, and his Cars Lego's. Christmas morning we found out that Thomas had been really been a good boy this year because Santa left a "green car, *blue* train, red airplane, and a table for my trains and cars". He was so excited and has yet to stop playing with his train table! We had a yummy Christmas morning breakfast of pancakes and bacon! Then Thomas went with his daddy for Christmas at Nana and JPa's house. Leanne and I spent most of the rest of our Christmas Day in South Dallas handing out clothes and food. It was so much fun to be able to bless others on Christmas day. It was a great, blessed day.

Allison, thank you for sharing the pictures. It looks like you all had a good time. I can't believe how grown-up Thomas is!
