Ava was nice enough to share her toys, mommy and daddy with us for a few days and we all enjoyed watching Kaden and Ava play together.
But at the end of the day, R0dy got the best of Kaden and his daddy.
We stopped by and spend a short amount of time with Daddy Mac. Kaden is still not so sure about his mustache. He loves Daddy Mac, but is always fascinated with his whiskers.
Chilling in Daddy Mac's favorite place.
Murrs and Marty also gave Kaden this truck. It is super cool and Kaden drove it around...until the hot wh@@ls came out...
So, Christmas at Da and Z's house was rushed because Lyneil was able to get all of us tickets to the Aggie game over in LA. We had a blast despite the outcome of the game. It was SO great to be at a game again. Loved it!
I love this man. It had been six years since we were able to go to an Aggie game together and I LOVED IT!
Beck's and Schmidt's
Daniel, Fry's and Zach
The Aggie Band and the Block T....WHOOP! Half time was the high light of the day...to say the least. Our band kicked some tail!
We all stayed until the clock ran out. I think we out lasted our team...but we did it! We got out of downtown safely (thanks to many prayers and a couple of light skinned police men).
No ability to place calls or txt (in a 3G network with full reception). Called and cab and ended up with Micah and Daniel in the car with a random stranger...all because we were impatient. Thank you God for small miracles!
Zach patiently waiting...wondering if the ride (and cousin input of college...when, how and why) was worth the trip! 
Papa and the grand kids, spouses and great grands...we are missing only a few that chose not to come. Hopefully we will have everyone present and accounted for next year.
Papa and our crazy clan. Love Phillip in the back left corner and Nathan in the far right. Pam and Michael were wonderful hosts and we had a good time exchanging gifts! Papa was a trooper...for sure!
Monday morning we were able to run through Christmas at Da and Z's house. Some of us had made other plans as well and we literally ran through gifts....such the spirit! Karl and I had less than 24 hours at Mom and Dad's but we enjoyed every minute of it. It was hard to leave this time. It felt so wrong running in and out. Kaden enjoyed his time with his cousins and has asked to go to their house daily.
Sweet Brazos with his daddy.
We had such a good time in Texas over December. We were able to spend some much needed time Frankston. This was Kaden's favorite place to sit and play. Usually he was able to make it back behind the table without trouble....
Kaden and I were able to get out and enjoy the sunshine (without snow). We were able to talk Karl into joining us for a walk one day. We love our time together.
Chad sporting new tops!
Grandma Cindy, Sherry, Karl and Kaden...He's not spoiled at all....
Oh the fun of being together! We just let loose sometimes!
The McD three....about to be FOUR!
Sibling love!
Wrap them up....either one...I'll take them both!
Karl (with all of his craftiness) was able to turn and salt and pepper grinder for Da and Z. They are beautiful. My man is talented in woodworking beyond belief. I am very fortunate.
Chad kept Kaden entertained and kept him on his feet...most of the time!
Grandma Cindy reading to Kaden. Go, Dog! Go! was the preferred book of choice.
Chad sharing Sherry with Kaden. He seemed to step in and take over. Sherry didn't have much time to herself. Kaden was all about Sherry.
Carpet=Horse
Sherry reading A,B,C book....she should have memorized this one by the end of the four days. Kaden's #2 choice of reading...it was nice to have a break with others so willing and able to read to Kaden. Thanks for all of the goodies and sharing the love!
