Merry Christmas Eve!

Merry Christmas Eve Everyone!



We have had such a busy week, and it is only Wednesday! On Friday evening we left for Sherman and arrived around 12:15 AM. Mommy and Daddy thought they would be clever and leave at night so William would sleep on the way there, HA! He tricked us. He only slept for about half of the ride there, but luckily fell right to sleep when we arrived at Nana's. When we pulled up Nana was waiting for us in the driveway and William pointed to her and said "Nana!" It was so cute, and the first time he has called her by name. Very early Saturday morning Nana and Mommy left for their cross-country journey to Iowa. They had so much fun on the road, except it was VERY cold. At one point the thermomemter read 4 degrees. That's cold!!!!! William and Daddy had a great day together. They played at the park all morning and just spent a lot of quality time together. They both really enjoyed their Saturday together. On Sunday, Mommy, Nana, and Nanny (William's great-grandmother) headed back to Texas. It was -10 degrees when they left with a windchill of 30 below. Holy Macrel! That was COLD! William woke up with a fever and Daddy had to spend his Sunday nursing him back to health. Poor guys...so much for a fun filled weekend while the girls were away. The girls arrived safely back in Sherman Sunday evening.



We have been spoiled this week with Nana's cooking. She has made some wonderful meals while we have been here. Poor Nana has been working all week, but hopefully she will be home around 2 this afternoon so we can start the holiday celebration!!! Last night we went and saw some pretty Christmas lights near Sherman. William really enjoyed them and we have posted some pictures at the bottom of this entry.



William has especially been enjoying his time with Nanny. He loves to sit in her lap and have her rock him. He sometimes wants to rock Nanny which is also very cute. Mommy and Nanny are leaving this morning to head to the DFW airport to pick up Aunt Jan, and while they are busy doing that, Grandma and Grandpa will be heading to Sherman from Brownwood. By this afternoon we should have a houseful, and we are so excited!



We hope everyone has a very fun and happy Christmas Eve!



Love,

The Tates
