Our Busy Christmas Eve...

Our Christmas Eve was a very crazy one. We received a phone call on Wednesday(December 24th) morning from Uncle Bubba (BJ's brother) and he said that the doctor's speculated that Nanny would pass sometime in the next 24 hours. Along with BJ and Lloyd, Ashly and I (in separate cars) drove up to Oklahoma in hopes to see Nanny one last time. We dropped the girls off at Mommom and Grandad's so we could focus on spending time with Nanny at the hospital. Luckily she opened her eyes one last time while we were at the hospital. Even though our day was a little hectic going back and forth from Texas to Oklahoma. It was worth every minute we spent with Nanny.

We drove back to Irving to spend Christmas Eve at Mommom and Grandad's house. We ate our annual enchilada dinner! The following family members were there...
Mommom and Grandad
Mom
Uncle Billy and Aunt Alane
Aunt Alicia
Ashly and I
Payton and Presley

My brother and Shelly went to Big Lake to spend Christmas with her family...the joys of be married! You have to compromise and alternate holidays!!!

The girls spread out their reindeer food on the front porch. They made it at their school. It was a combination of oatmeal and glitter..."On Christmas Eve sprinkle over your lawn. The glitter will shine in the moonlight and lead Santa to your house before dawn. The smell of the oats will guide the reindeer directly to your rooftop."
