Holidays with the Fam Part 2--Christmas

We spent Christmas this year in lovely Waterflow, NM with my family. All of the Jones kids were able to make it out from Florida and Idaho and Utah, but the Brett Jones family stayed deep in the heart of Texas this year. They were definitely missed!

Bryan and I were there from the 23rd until the 28th. It was a great break and even greater to see Matt and Cindel who I haven't seen since we got married, meet our new little niece Paisley Marie Patrick, and to see all the rest of the family. It always seems to fly by too fast!! We played lots of games, opened presents, had lots of family get-togethers with Aunts and Uncles, and played soccer (again, preggies not allowed. I spent some quality time with Lex and Brinley on the sidelines). I took a TON of pictures, but am only going to post a few highlights. It was a great Christmas and I couldn't ask for more than being with family for the holidays. We are very blessed!

Christmas Eve Party at Aunt Jovanna's House.

Chase and I posing beautifully for the pic

Bryan holding brand-new baby Paisley! She is so super cute and such a good baby! We can only hope for a baby as great as this one! Good practice for Bry :)

Grandma French and all the girls: Olivia, Sophia, Madison, and Alexis
Christmas Morning! Santa came to New Mexico! Maddy and Lexie were good this year :)
Bryan multi-tasking: holding baby while opening presents. Again, good practice :)
Me and the girls painting pictures. I love my nieces!
Christmas Program (casting and directed by Lindsay. Narrated by Bryan.) Baby Paisley made her first (and last) debut as baby Jesus this year! Matt and Cindel Liebenhaut as Mary and Joseph
The Whole Cast: Brandon, Chase, and Corbin as the 3 Wisemen, Alyssa as a sheep, Madison as the Angel, Sophia, Olivia and Lexie as pink shepherds. (not in photo: Ty as Caesar Augustus AND King Herod. He was probably our best addition to the play this year!)

Cute little Brinley Patrick!! We bonded this trip!

The Boys (all in-law brothers are at least 6-2' tall!)
This pretty much sums our trip up! Good times together with the fam! In our Core Services hoodies doing gang signs (which includes UNM's "Everybody Lobo! Woof! Woof! Woof!")

I can't wait to see all of both sides of the family again!! We had a great Holiday season!
