Christmas in San Antonio

For the past two years we have driven to San Antonio on Christmas Day. It is a LONG 10 1/2 hour drive, but SO worth it! We hadn't see Ace and Lily since the cruise, so the kids couldn't wait to see them!

Brookelyn wanted to feed Lily her bottle (and Lily so sweetly "allowed" her to)!
And, what Big Sister does, Little Brother has to also. So, Sashi helped Braedyn feed Lily her bottle. Ace also got in on the action.
Our little chefs cooked up an amazing breakfast!
Lily Kate was VERY impressed!
Since I am always behind the camera, I have very few pictures of the kids and me. So, I asked Allen to snap a few. LOVE my little man!
My babies are getting SO big!
Here is Brookelyn posing in her "fascinator" with her very own diamond earrings. Thanks Aunt B!
Braedyn stopped to read the book he helped make (full of the kids artwork) with Honey.
And, here is a shot with Daddy! Braedyn has become fixated on doing everything that Daddy does. It is adorable!
We managed to get a family shot.
It is almost impossible to get a picture with all the kids and Honey and Sashi, but here was a fairly good attempt.
We had a wonderful time with everyone--the only problem was that time flew by TOO FAST! Can't wait to get everyone together again soon!
