Christmas in Dallas
We had a wonderful Christmas in Dallas. The night before we left, Mimi and Opi (my parents) came over and had an early Christmas dinner and we opened presents. Mimi and Opi got River a slide and I think this was his favorite present of all.
We stayed with E.Scott's parents for a week and got to see his brother's family. We only get to see them once a year around Christmas time and we always enjoy spending time with Chad, Symbra, and their two girls, Aruna and Annika. River had a busy week and got tons of good presents. First we went to the Dallas Zoo with grandma and saw elephants, giraffes, penguins, pigs, goats, and monkeys. River had a blast! I think his favorite part was getting to kiss the goats (pictures to follow). The second day we went to the Dallas Children's museum with grandma and grandpa. Boy was it crowded. River just ran in circles and explored. More than anything, he enjoyed running. His second favorite thing to do was play the drums and I must say, he is pretty good at the drums. He has a real drum at home so he gets a lot of practice. Then came Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Chad and his family arrived the Tuesday evening after Christmas. River had so much fun playing with grandma and his two cousins the rest of the week. They went to the park, fed the ducks, rode the train at Firewheel shopping center, and went to the coolest wooden playground ever. River really enjoyed all the attention he got from everyone. Ever since we've been home, he just seems bored!
Here are A LOT of pictures of our Christmas vacation:
