Christmas Recap - Part 1

Yes, its been a couple weeks since Christmas but we had a lot of pictures to consolidate from our Christmas break and it didn't happen until now....Here's the run down..

On the way to Beaumont, on Dec. 20, we stopped in Conroe to meet our friends' (Sheila and Sam) baby boy, Beckett. Caroline thought he was handsome and she has good taste. :)

First stop in Beaumont on Dec. 20 was the Manuel family (Kev's dad's side) Christmas party.
Here is Caroline with her Aunt Kim.

Caroline, her cousin Madison (age 10), and Kevin's cousin Beau's daughter, Addison (age 1 year)

Four generations of Manuels...Caroline, Kevin, Maw Maw (Kev's grandma and Caroline's great-grandma), and Papa Kenneth (Kev's dad)

Madison played dress up with Caroline and she was a very willing model. This went on for hours as Madison changed her outfits, Caroline pranced around the house and danced. Here are a few of the highlights...

After a failed attempt at seeing Santa in Beaumont on Dec. 21, Caroline and Madison rode the train in the mall. Caroline fell on the floor screaming when we tried to put her on Santa's lap.
But now she "calls" him on her "cell phone" a lot and says "Thank you Santas" for her toys.

We celebrated Christmas with Kevin's mom and stepdad on the morning of Dec. 24th.

Please note, Caroline is still eating the cookies from her stocking in this picture.


This was our attempt at a family picture on Christmas Eve morning. Yet, another unsuccessful attempt at a posed picture with a 2 year old.

Part 2 coming later!!
