We got down to Brownsville just in time for Christmas Eve. We started off our Christmas Eve festivities with a yummy mexican food breakfast at Toddle Inn.
We spent the rest of the day baking cookies, playing in boxes, giving Uncle Tito a makeover and eating cookies.
A little family picture after church before we headed to my aunt's house.
Lily LOVES Charlie who is technically my dog but became my mom's dog when I left for college. He is so old and can barely walk or see but he is still the best dog ever!
Checking out her gifts from Santa on Christmas morning.
Lily and Granpy both gave breakfast a thumbs up!
After breakfast, we packed up the car to go to Kingsville for Christmas with my Mom's side of the family.
I wish the cemetery was not a place we had to visit.
Some more Charlie snuggles when we got back to Brownsville.
Lunch date with our very favorite sisters!
A yummy mexican treat before heading to the airport.
We got back to Dallas and woke up the next morning to celebrate Christmas with Danny's family!
Lily and her cousin Conor both love trains and had a great time playing with Grandpa's train under the tree.
We tried to take a nice picture, which proved to be impossible. There was not a single picture where everyone had their eyes open and was looking at the camera.
Pete and Lily got impatient and started taking things out of their stockings.
Then the cousins wrestled.
Present time! Lily opened the first present which was this rocking horse and then she spent the next half hour riding it while everyone else opened presents.
Grandpa picked this up for Lily at Home Depot on Black Friday and it was money well spent!
We spent the rest of our time in Dallas hanging out with friends and relaxing.
And then it was all over way too soon and we had to head back to Morocco. Our time in Texas is never long enough. Even though I love life here in Morocco, there really is no place like home.
