Happy Holidays!

I deserve a big fat "F" when it comes to blogging this month!

Since December 1st we have been working on situating things in the house, decorating for Christmas, going to Christmas parties and just taking it easy in College Station. (Above is a picture of part of our Christmas tree and the quilt hanging in our new house in CS.)
Last week we drove to Dallas, spent the night in Allen, then flew up to the Panhandle the next morning for Christmas!  Wednesday Mary Alice flew up and we headed straight to the Coney Island for lunch. We had a WHITE Christmas Eve and Christmas in Pampa! I was so thankful it didn't keep on snowing like it used to in NH. :) We attended Christmas Eve services at church, then had several family friends over for our traditional tamale Christmas Eve dinner. The next morning we exchanged gifts, had a big Christmas meal (including cheesy spaghetti) and enjoyed some much needed family time. Eeeaaarrrlllyyy the next morning Zac, Mary Alice and I all flew back to Dallas - and then MA on to Austin. It was soooo nice to be home. CLICK HERE for pictures from Christmas.
Once in Dallas, Zac and I had Christmas with the Elliott side of the family in Carrollton. We had fun with everyone. Beth and Neal even stayed the night at Zac's parents' house with us and we all had a waffle breakfast the next morning. Afterwards we headed back down to College Station. Zac's friend Court and his girlfriend, Nikki, came over to catch up and see the house. Shortly after that, Zac's parents, Steve and Kay, arrived to also see the house and stay the night with us.
We have had a very fun week, and are looking forward to New Years! I think that one of my New Year's resolutions should be to blog more often. :) What do you think?
Hope everyone had a very mele kalikimaka!
Me ke aloha,
RAWE
