Pre Christmas with our Texas family

Since John and Misty are now in Austin, we get to see them and their kids much more often which is amazing!  And Grandpa was kind enough to give us all the gift of iFLY for Christmas.  iFly is an indoor skydiving place where you can take a "flight" to get the sense of what it would be like to really go skydiving.

From the get go, Maddie said she was NOT going.  I knew she was scared but I thought after seeing everyone else do it that she might realize she wasn't going to die and would try it.  Unfortunately, she suited up, watched everyone go, and still held to her guns and refused.  I'm proud of her for sticking up for herself (when everyone else was pressuring her to go) because I understand that kind of fear and I didn't want her to feel pushed to do something she didn't want to do.

After iFly we all came back to the house and had a nice Christmas dinner and white elephant exchange!  The kids are always so happy when they get to spend time with cousins!
