Christmas at the Lake house

I feel like we are the luckiest family in all of Round Rock to have friends like the Jacksons. We have no family within hundreds of miles of here so hollidays are sometimes a little bit lonely. I love my kids and love the the traditions and memories that we've figured out how to create on our own, but sometimes we just feel so far away. Lucky for us we know an angel who invites us to join her family and spend Christmas evening at their lake house. It's so perfect after a long (but fun)day of opening gifts and playing new games and managing the high level of excitement in the kids, but by 4:00 we're all a little bit restless. So we pack up and head out to the lake house. This single experience has made my last two Christmas' so much more rich and fulfilling, we feel like family at the lake house. Thank you to the Jackson's for a wonderful meal, fantastic company, and of course the best nativity production around!
