Texas for Christmas - December 2016

Christmas Pressies
After Thanksgiving at Shawna's moms house, we headed back out the following weekend to Dallas to celebrate early Christmas with the Dodds family.  We arrived at 9:30pm to Love Field.  Lily flew in from Austin and arrived 20 minutes before we did, so she and Keith's mother actually met us at the gate - it has been a LONG time since we were met at a gate!  It was straight back to the house and up to bed.

Owen's Bday Party
Saturday was a busy day.  The first order of business was to drive to the Gaylord hotel for family pictures that Margaret had coordinated to be taken by her friend Ashley.  Amazingly everyone was at the hotel by the appointed time of 8am.  It took about 45 minutes to take the pictures at the variety of places.  We went back to the house, with Keith driving Boone and Lily.  Margaret's kids came over as well so it was fun to play with all the nieces and nephews.  The next stop was Owen's birthday party which was again held at Urban Air trampoline park.  The party was noon-2pm - Keith used it as his workout for the day.  We went back to the house until heading out again to Uncle Julios in Grapevine with all the kids and Margaret.

Keith Being a Kid
On Sunday morning, Margaret's kids came over so we could give Owen/Josie/Lily/Boone their Christmas presents.  In the afternoon we went over to see Peter and Michael (Jen and Jordan were at a dog event so were not around).  It was fun to catch up with Peter and we got to see Michael's new aquarium.  By then it was time to head to the airport via La Madeleine Grapevine for dinner.
