Merry Christmas Eve to all! Dave, Emily, Ally and I are in Dallas with Dave's parents and brother Stephen. We are missing Kevin, Katherine, and Lyla dearly but are still trying to make the most of the holiday. We arrived yesterday just in time to eat lunch that Stephen had prepared and then relaxed a bit during the afternoon. We were supposed to go and see our friends Jeremey and Sarah and their two kids (which happen to be the exact ages of Emily and Ally) but Ally is still a little sick and we didn't want to get their kids sick, so we decided to hang out here with Dorcas because Jeff had to go to work. Dave ended up going out with some of his highschool buddies later in the evening and I stayed and tried to get some Harry Potter reading done. I finished book 4 on Friday and I am almost half way done with book 5. I was hoping to have finished by now so that we could rent movie 5, but Stephen is planning to come to Austin next Sunday to hang out with Dave and me, so we may just wait to rent it then.
Today Emily helped make Christmas cookies and it was so much fun watching her. She rolled the dough out and spread flour around and cut cookies with the cookie cutters. She learned quickly and it was neat to see her covered in flour having so much fun. Tonight we are supposed to go to a Christmas Eve service and then after that, I don't know what the plan it. We are having a great time hanging out with the family and watching Emily and Ally be cute.
We miss you Kevin and Katherine!
