A Bosworth family Christmas

We were all able to meet for a few days before Christmas at Nana and Pops' house to celebrate Christmas as a family. We miss the Black's so much, it had been WAY too long since our last visit to New Orleans in September. Christmas gets better and better every year with the addition of more babies! The kids had a blast together as usual, and completely wore out their mothers! We went to Northpark and continued our tradition of visiting the trains, lunch at Chick-fil-A and seeing Santa. We had a wonderful "Christmas Eve" dinner, enjoyed an outdoor fire and opened way too many presents. Saturday night, we went to Frisco to visit the Mitchell's and had a great evening with old friends. Charlotte and Lofton are really playing together now, they are too cute! So bummed that I forgot my camera that night! I realized a couple of things this weekend... it really is not about the acutal day, and it felt just like Christmas being together and celebrating all of our usual traditions. The best part of the weekend was definitely not the presents, but just visiting and laughing and watching all of the sweet babies having so much fun. The presents were actually quite stressful to purchase, wrap and tote to Dallas. Maybe next year we will simplify things, and spend December making gingerbread houses and cookies, seeing Christmas lights, reading Christmas books by the fire and making new traditions!
