We had a great week in Dallas celebrating Christmas with Phil's sweet family. From great food and great company to unforgettable memories, Philip and Parker had a blast! The airplane ride was great... Parker slept of course and Philip watched his Mickey Mouse DVDs with his new and super cool headphones all while eating cookies, twizzlers and marshmallows! Whatever will keep them quiet, right?! However, Philip was so obsessed with the airplane that when we took off both times, he kept screaming... "Its going down mommy, Its going down." As you can imagine those are words that lots of people do NOT want to hear during a plane ride so we had to continually explain that we were going up not down. Guess mommy needs to do a little better job on teaching the law of gravity. And then Philip also never got the memo that when you have headphones on, you talk way louder than the norm (and for those of you who know Philip's norm, that is already very LOUD)! So he was basically screaming the Mickey hot dog dance song at the top of his lungs during the duration of the plane ride... but all I could think was at least he wasnt crying, right?! Needless to say the plane rides both went smoothly other than those couple of hiccups and we were very glad we made that last minute gametime decision to not drive the 20 hour drive each way with 2 kids 2 and under. Philip and Parker loved getting spoiled by their Mimi and Grande and all of their crazy uncles! The boys got lots of hugs and kisses from their sweet aunts and their uncles taught them to say the word "sex" and drink beer... what more can you ask for?! All Phil and I could say was that payback is hell... Philip loved sleeping in the room with Ben, his "roomie" and they became best buds after 6 nights together... they even sang a duet to Mary had a little lamb... classic! And from multiple visits to Mi Cocina, Peggy Sues, JD's, and Mimi's toffee... we ate like movie stars! The christmas lights this year at the village were literally breathtaking and the Park Cities was lit up like never before! Philip loved singing songs with his Mimi while we did the christmas light tour and Parker enjoyed being able to stay up so late past his bedtime. Philip's favorite were the horses of course that were walking by doing carriage rides... as they say you can take the boy out of texas but you cant take the texas out of the boy. The boys had a blast at the train shop in Northpark and Philip of course didn't ever want to leave!! Parker and Philip loved getting tickled and chased by their Grande and Mimi loved cooking her cranberry bread with her Philip and playing with Parker man during his baths in the sink. Philip also loved telling everyone about Christmas and how it is Baby Jesus' bday party, who Jesus' mommy and daddy are (he knows them by name), pointing out all the animals and explaining about the sheperds and the wisemans (as he calls them). It is so fun this year as he really does get it... what joy it is to see Christmas through the eyes of my child!! It was such a wonderful trip and we are so blessed to have a family that loves us so much!Special Note: Please Mute Playlist to the right to enjoy the collage and videos :o)
