Texas Visit

We had a wonderful trip to Texas. Maria was able to borrow just about everything we needed for the babies so it cut down on how much we had to pack. Dad and Mom came out at the same time and it was so nice to be altogether. Unfortunately Trenton was under the weather so things weren't quite as smooth as they could have been. :( Thank you so much for all your hard work, Maria! We had a fabulous time!

A visit from good friends!
The Graingers (from Kansas) were in Dallas at the same time as we were, visiting Debbie's twin sister and her family. They were all kind enough to visit us at the Hawkins as Trenton was sick and not up for going out. Unfortunately short but very special just the same.

We don't celebrate Christmas but who can resist seeing a child opening presents. Auntie Ana even made it up for the night and following day.

Kids gone wild!

Hey you guys! I went to call you and wish you a Merry Christmas, but the phone number changed on me!

I'm glad to hear you had such a great visit with Sen and Mom, and I'm thinking about you. Merry Christmas!
