Christmas 2010

Another wonderful holiday, come and gone so quickly! This year we were so lucky to have most of the Hall family come and have a Texas Christmas. Matt's parents (Bruce & Katie), along with two brothers (Doug & Peter), a sister-in-law (Tamara-Doug's wife) and 2 little cousins (Doug & Tamara's boys, Ben and Will) all flew out from LA to Austin!! It was a wonderful weekend filled with food, games, barf, presents, 3 crazy 1 year olds, Texas BBQ, laser tag, unicorns, skyping missionaries, train rides, brotherly love, movies, laughs, and plain old fun!

You'll have to go to facebook for more details and more pics, but here are a few of my favorites from the weekend.

Because you asked...

My mom gives me a hard time when I don't update the blog regularly.

"But Mom", I say "We haven't done anything exciting around here to document this week."

"Just post something" she pleads.

Makes me wish we did live a little closer...

So here you have our evening. Dinner at Chili's, a walk around the outlet mall.

The kids love the toys, even when I don't have any quarters to make them move.
Who needs Disneyland, right?
We like to hang out at the Disney Store to get our Disney fix.

Lexi insisted Bambi needed a tiara, (not to be confused with a crown.)

The Barracuda, and a Christmas Parade

If you know Matt Hall, you know he loves the Barracuda. His girls are growing up to love it too :) Matt will have Lexi out in the garage taking it apart in no time. Nothing like a beautiful Saturday in December to take the convertible out.

PS--For Bruce--the car is officially registered in Texas. It passed safety and has Texas plates and stickers.

A few weeks ago we met up with just about everyone in Georgetown and Round Rock to attend the Christmas Stroll. It started out with a great parade.


Waiting for the parade to start with our 4 kiddos! We could have 4 kids 4 & under right??


Apparently Georgetown is known for it's Blue Santa--who wants a blue Santa??
The Grinch! Lexi remembered him from the Grinch play we saw last year.

In Texas, they ship in snow as a novelty item, and the kids play in it it their t-shirts :)
