Christmas in Texas

Well, we've been back in Boston for a few weeks now. Here are some pictures from our time in Texas.
Christmas morning. Dad, sister, Sebastian the dog, and my sister's flowers from her boyfriend whose name is Jon Lennon. From what I hear, he sounds like a good guy. And one of my KXA shirts....it seems that things I left in TX have migrated to be worn by others. I had to trade her some shirts so that I'd have this one to be put in my t-shirt quilt that my dad is making for me.
After trying about 5 times to get me to look at the camera, I finally look up when Jeremy is snapping pictures. You can tell that I'm thrilled.

After a week in Big Spring, we moved onto Nederland. Here are some pictures from there:
Here is a few of those present at the New Year's Eve celebration. Funny story....we were out in the front yard/street watching some of the others messing around with fireworks when we realized that the artillery shell was going to explode without launching. Naturally, we all took cover. Jeremy was in charge of Emyle (little one in the picture) and he forgot to cover her. Oops. Fortunately she was just fine. I guess that really isn't such a funny story. We've got to work on his parental instincts. Still it is a good family joke now.
Jeremy and his grandma. She remembers us so that is good.
Me with Jeremy's grandpa. He seemed very upbeat this visit. Jeremy's other grandma, Dot, got out of the hospital when we were in town. Her record for time out of the hospital this past fall was 2 1/2 weeks, so hopefully we can beat that now. Since we've returned to Boston, she hasn't been back to the hospital.

We also got to see a couple of my really great college friends during which I learned from Jeremy that college Chelsea and Boston Chelsea have different personalities. We also were able to see Jeremy's good buddy, Jeff, and his wife, Sara. We will post those pictures soon.

Also, we have a couple videos of Jeremy dirt biking and me driving Pam and I through some serious mud on the 4-wheeler.
