this was the 2nd year in a row that we were here on christmas day! we went to all angels for christmas eve as greeters (including cooper who asked everytime someone walked by... "eh is it?"). the next day, we opened presents and went to benihana with the yosts for dinner. on the 26th we flew to dallas to spend time with grandma carol, grandpa richard, uncle sam, aunt ellie, kumo and masako.  we had a lot of fun and packed it in with activities. we went to see ICE at gaylord with uncle sam. we went to all the malls to ride choo choo trains and play on the foam structures. we went to pump it up for a noon countdown new years eve party. we had play dates with cousin casey, auntie gina, dorothy and volki. then before we left, we went to legoland too!
