I guess I will go in reverse order (since my husband apparently already downloaded some the pictures off the memory card on his computer and it is with him at work). Our last big Christmas celebration was with my dad's family. It was my aunt's year to host, so we made the 6+ hour drive last Thursday to spend a couple days with my family. We actually headed down a day early. My sister and brother-in-law live within 30 minutes of my aunt and they agreed to watch Xavier for most of an evening so J.J. and I could have a date. This was our second date since bringing Xavier home. Last time we went to football game. This time we went out to a movie and then had dinner. It was so nice to just sit and talk! Friday evening the whole family got together for food and games. My aunt had a finger food contest and there was so much food! Xavier even made pigs in a blanket. Saturday we got together again and, of course, ate some more. We played more games and just enjoyed each others company. Xavier had so much fun running around with his cousins. The event was in a church fellowship hall that doubles as a gym, so there was plenty of open space for running, spinning, jumping, rolling on the floor, all those things that Xavier likes to do. We headed home early in the afternoon. Xavier did so well in the car. I don't know if I've mentioned it, but he usually behaves marvelously in the car. There have been a few exceptions, but this time he was a trooper. Once again I hardly got my camera out, but I did snap a few cute pictures of Xavier with his youngest cousin.
