Dellinger Wedding

The weekend after New Year's we went to Dallas for the Dellinger wedding. After an 80 degree Christmas/New Year week, a cold front came in just in time for the wedding. As we drove to Arlington on Friday, it was snowing! The wedding was at Dallas Baptist University. Because of the weather, classes were cancelled, so the rehearsal was cancelled, too. We made it to the rehearsal dinner at Mimi's Cafe.

The rehearsal was rescheduled for Saturday morning. Nicholas was a groomsman and needed to attend the rehearsal. We dropped him off. I drove around while the boys napped. After a little nap, we walked around outside the chapel, but it was around 28 degrees. After playing for a little bit we had to go inside to warm up!

The boys were pretty good during the ceremony. We were very excited when Daddy was able to join us for the reception for some food and conversation.

The Days of Christmases

Christmas morning, the boys woke up at our house to find that Santa had come! Mommy made them wait at the top of the stairs while I checked to see if Santa had come (and made coffee), just like my Mom used to do. They ran straight to the kitchen (not the Christmas tree) to see if Santa had eaten the cookies they left. Then they found the sacks Santa left for them!

The boys opened up all their presents from Santa, Mommy and Daddy and Aunt Laurie and Uncle Elgin. Grandma and GranBo came over to enjoy the fun, too. Then we had breakfast and the boys enjoyed their new toys.

We headed over to the Turmans house in the afternoon for more Christmas fun.

We enjoyed yummy food, a little coloring, some presents, trampoline jumping, olive eating and playing games with Uncle Brian.

We stayed way too late, but the boys fell asleep on the way home. 

Monday morning, we had Dertien family Christmas! Jeremy and Audrey flew in from Colorado around 9am. We had a great Christmas. We all got awesome gifts. Then we had a turkey dinner. The boys played with more toys. Big Bro spent the day building Lego sets.
