We had a great Christmas this year! Paxton is at an age where he kind of understands what's going on now. We thought it would be fun to start a tradition where we go to the Gaylord Texan during Christmas time each year. The Gaylord is a huge hotel out in Grapevine that's the size of a casino. There are a few restaurants inside and for Christmas, they decorate the entire place with beautiful lights, trains, a life-size gingerbread house that you can actually walk in to, Santa, a huge spinning Christmas tree...I could go on. We went with our friends Paul and Britney and their two kids. Everyone had a great time checking out the place.We took Paxton to the mall to meet Santa. They had a neat setup where you meet an Ice Princess, then go into a 'snow' room, then move on to meet Santa. He loved the Ice Princess. In fact, while the photographer was trying to take his picture, he kept sticking his tongue out. It was pretty funny! Luckily we were able to get a shot where he was smiling. Last year, Paxton didn't have a problem meeting Santa. This year, however, he started crying when we put him in his lap. I guess I can't blame him.

We went to my parents' on Christmas Eve and stayed through Christmas Day. Both of my brothers were there as well as my sister-in-law and the kiddos. The kids had a great time opening gifts. Paxton seemed to be more interested in his cousins' gifts. We had to keep telling him to come and open his own. Everyone had a great Christmas!
