Christmas time festivities

This is just a random post about some fun Christmas-time things we did this year.

We got a real tree!! We didn't travel anywhere this year, so I insisted on getting a real tree this year :)

I don't care how easy or convenient fake trees are, they will never beat a real tree for me.

And despite the look on Afton's face, she did have a good time picking the tree out.

We also went to Bass Pro Shops to see SANTA!!!!

Here is Afton "writing" her letter to Santa.

We were mean and had Afton sit on Santa's lap to get a candy cane.

I was a little surprised she wasn't a fan, she usually warms up to new people pretty quickly.

Must be the beard.

And the official free shot. She almost looks like she is happy..... right?

We probably won't make this a yearly tradition.

 I still feel a little guilty about it.

HA

Did I mention how Afton is VERY anti-posing lately?

Here are the girls in their cute matching Christmas dresses!

Afton really does love to hold Ruby. She is such a sweet big sister.

Finally a good smile shot!!!

I love my sweet girls.

(also note, none of the presents under the tree at this point are from us....we are spoiled)

Last time eating at our favorite San Antonio Restaurant: Mi Tierra. We love the food and the atmosphere.

I also insisted on seeing the Christmas lights at the river walk.

I had to cross it off my bucket list, so we went when our parents were in town for the blessing.

Afton and Grampy

Due to the large amount of presents Afton had under the tree, we decided to let her open one each day leading up to Christmas. We started 3 days before Christmas Eve.

Afton was a fan, and it made the Christmas morning present unwrapping go a little quicker. :)

Christmas, Texas style.

Merry Christmas y'all!
