Christmas in the Woodlands

Well, i guess i just don't learn until i am in the process of downloading the pictures and say, "oh no! They are all out of order!" So, my apologies again. :( But, this is the remainder of our Christmas holiday. We flew home from Midland on Christmas Eve to find a very dark house because the power was out and had been out for hours. So, we had supper by candlelight and cooked by candles so it was a very unique and fun Christmas Eve.
Santa came that night to Maddie and she got a tent, piano and baby doll stroller. She was so cute and excited! Aunt DeeDee, Uncle Dickie, Amber, Granny, Rae, Andrew, Nana & Papa were all there too to see the excitement on her face. We spent most of the day in our pj's opening presents and watching Maddie play! It was a great week spent in The Woodlands. :)
To end our time there, we celebrated my 28th birthday on the 28th of Dec. It was my golden birthday so that was so neat. I got wonderful gifts and an awesome supper with the family.
We are so blessed to have great families on both sides of our lives and we love everyone!

Maddie got a doctor kit so she was checking out Aunt DeeDee's cold.

Christmas night we had our own worship service that turned into a dancing session. Maddie wanted to dance so she said, "Nana, its my turn." Then Papa danced with her while all the adults got tear eyed...

Maddie was watching her video from Santa on the computer, its Christmas Eve too.

Nana gave Maddie a present early so she would have something new to play with while we ate supper. Good thing the power was back on for her to play.

Cooking by candlelight!

Maddie's flight home from Midland and she is sitting in her own seat now because she is so big! She did great considering the rough flight.
