“There is magic in long-distance friendships.They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.” ~Diana Cortes

This past weekend, we took Q out of school on Thursday afternoon to head to Big D. When we moved away, I decided that we’d always have to make the trip back at this time of year to see the REAL Santa. Considering he’s the only one we’d ever seen, it was silly important to me. But, on top of that, it gave us a great excuse to see other friends and to eat some Bueno!
After loading up the Swaggon with excited travelers, we headed to our old home and got there just in time to meet the Ross’ and get to Santa for our appointment. (Yep…appointment! He’s so great that you see him “by appointment only!”) We gave them our name in went right in!!! Fabulous!
And, he was just as great as ever. So sweet to the boys and so lovey to Bliss. As always, I’m a little starstruck. As much as I love it, the boys seemed to be indifferent this year. Nash said it wasn’t that fun because we didn’t get to talk to him very long. And Q acted super awkward…I don’t think he was sure what to do. It was actually pretty comical. But, it made for a sweet memory for me…and I love the darling pics that were captured.
{excuse the blurry pics of pics…} 
{This girl seemed to eat up the attention…I wasn’t sure how she’d react…but she loved The Big Guy!…}
{Awesome Photo Bomb…can you tell he’s proud?…}
Then, it was off to dinner for Cruser’s bday. His choice or Durkin’s Pizza…YUM…
After dinner, we headed to my sweet college RMY’s house to play and spend the night. What precious times that happen too infrequently. We stayed up way too late and laughed just like always. How I adore her.
On Friday morning, she kept the boys so that I could go to Kami!!! Praise Jesus for salon days!!!…
I got this report while we were at the salon… little loves…
Bliss and I picked up Bueno and headed back to Sharee’s for lunch and a little more play time. 
We sat back in awe of the fact that we have SIX CHILDREN!!! Mercy me! They had a great time together, too. Made me wish that we lived closer to raise our littles together…but I’ll cherish the times we get…
First it was to Watters for some play time and to hang out with Uncle Brooks and his new fiancé. 
Needless to say, he loved our girl and we loved his! We're so happy for them and can’t wait for their big day this Summer! 
After that, it was time to head to Flower Mound to see our sweet Ben & Stacy and let Bliss finally meet them!…
And then to the Lawrence’s for some lovin’. This is one spoiled and loved little girl! 
On Saturday morning, it was back to Allen to pick up Quinn and head to our annual Christmas brunch/gift exchange with some of my very favorites. So thankful they were able to make it work when I was in town. Sweet faces…all of them…
Whew! What a whirlwind. I am so very thankful that we got to see so many precious people in such a short amount of time. And, when we arrived home, we were glad to be there and Peeky was apparently happy to have us back.
