Many Christmases - Houston

I am sure you all know how it goes with extended families during the holidays. Some go to and fro to hit all the houses of their loved ones. Some like to stay homebound and let others come to them. The Listis are usually all over the place..state to state. This year was no different. We started out our adventure heading to Houston right after the girls had their MDO Christmas play. The drive was uneventful until I ripped the carrier off the car. Luckily, no gifts were hurt or the car, just the carrier. That evening we stayed with Aunt Lynn & Uncle Carlo and had the annual Listi Christmas. The girls got LOTS of adorable things and fun toys and even Hayes-man got some good loot too! There was great Cajun food - muffaletas, etoufee and other goodies. Lynn is so crafty and had perfectly shaped sugar cookies to decorate with green icing. All I'm going to say is that G's poop was the same color the next day..I was perplexed for a moment then remembered all the decorating that took place.
Our next stop was Mississippi with a great lunch at Fezzo's in Louisiana. The kids did surprisingly well on the 9 hour drive and we all actually fit in the car - dogs, presents & all!
