Christmas weekend #1 was with the Segers. This is Forrest's mom's side of the family. She has a BIG family. A whopping 45 of us were at the family farm in Beeville for a jam-packed fun-filled weekend. The count would have been higher if everyone had been there, but we were missing a good handful. We sat around the bonfire, ate lots of Christmas fudge, opened gifts, planted palm trees, let Davis drive Pop's truck, played scrabble, and sang Christmas carols of course! I think my favorite part of the weekend was attending Skidmore's Methodist Church, we filled up one ENTIRE side of the church. We also met all 5 of the other parishioners!
Christmas weekend #2 was actual Christmas Eve and Day, spent in San Antonio. Forrest was on call and fortunately did not have to work. My parents and sister joined us. We hosted Christmas lunch at our house with Forrest's parents, my Aunt Robin, Uncle John, and their two girls Camille and Catherine. Our tiny little home went from buried in Christmas wrapping paper that morning to 12 place settings at the table.
Santa brought Davis a new bike!
Yay for Choo Choos!

Christmas weekend #3 was celebrated at the Thompson farm, Nockenut. This is Forrest's dad's side of the family. We were so lucky the weather was nice and warm because it made being outside really enjoyable. Richard made a delicious grilled shrimp dish, we opened gifts around the tree, and finished the night by a warm fire. Davis loves being outside, so Nockenut is a great playground. He especially loves to ride the mule and constantly asks everyone to take him for a drive.
