Christmas in Longview ~ 12-18-11

After our visit with family in Greenville we headed to Longview. We got in on Saturday night late in the evening and enjoyed a relaxing evening at Michael and Kaci's, my brother and sister-in-law's.


It had been a while since I had gone out to the graveyards so we dropped by to visit my brother, Justin. Cameron was barely 8 weeks old when he passed away in a car accident.



Then we went out to my grandparents grave. It's so hard to believe it's been 14 years since my Papa died and 10 years since my Mama passed away.



We had lunch and everyone enjoyed naps before heading out for dinner at Cheddar's. We had never been to Cheddar's and am so glad we went. Susan joined us for dinner and after we headed back to Michael and Kaci's and opened presents. On the way we stopped by some houses that are decorated all up for Christmas. Each room of the 2 houses have a theme and there is a ton of lights.

They even have Santa out front to give out candy.

Braydon wanted to be no where near Santa. He just didn't know what to think.

Across the street from the lit up houses was this cute little inflatable camper with Santa popping out of the door. I HATE inflatables for any holiday but this one was adorable!


Kaci helping Braydon get started. He's taking after his brother and wanting every piece of paper off of the box before checking out what the toy happens to be.








The boys enjoyed their presents. I think the dump trucks will get special attention.

We enjoyed our whirlwind trip across East Texas and while everyone's (almost) hospitality has been great, we are excited to back in our owns beds after our trip.
