Visiting Pop and family in Texas

My Pop, who lives in Texas with my Aunt Shelia, had a rapid decline in his health. My mom and I flew down there to visit and see how he was doing...

My cousin Ray and his family, Heather, Devon, and baby Reagan...


Devon and his baby sister, they are so cute!
It was difficult to see my Pop so sick but it was great to get to see him!

We also had the opportunity to visit with other family members while we were there. My cousins Carrie and Michael. I have not seen either one of them in almost 10 years.

Baby Reagan with her Auntie Shawna!

Devon and Seth...
It's great that Pop lives around so much family in Texas. It was wonderful to get to see him while we were there.
My Grandpa Allen and his wife, Marilyn, live in Ft. Worth. Unfortunately, we did not experience any "Texas" weather while we were there. The Dallas area had some of the coldest temperatures on record in almost ten years!

Christmas Morning 2009

This is how we found the Christmas tree after Santa stopped by...
Roman was excited about his Choo-Choo train under the tree....

Violet was very excited about the new play kitchen!!

Roman received a set of drum pads to play on...

Aww, what a cute CHEESE smile.
Roman LOVED the Mega Block Legos and all of the other block sets they got. He enjoys building stuff with them...
The big present from Oma & Opa was this Elmo drum set. It is perfect for his size and it also has a cymbal!! It was a wonderful Christmas and we feel very blessed!
