This year’s Texmas (I think it’s short for Christmas in Texas) was hosted by Courtney in her new house. You would think she’s been there for years because it’s already so well decorated and put together, but she’s just really good like that! Michael and I lucked out this year because Caitlin came with us (including half her stuff) and it was just around the corner from our house.
The tradition of Texmas started about 7 years ago and has evolved into a yearly gathering of six best friends and their husbands/significant others and our kids. (Wow, how we’ve grown!) The original gathering included a potluck dinner and games. Over the years, it’s grown to include a gift exchange complete with a website (for secret Santa), designed by the talented Mr. Trent.
We had a wonderful time this year…regardless of the boys attempt to ruin the annual game of Catch Phrase. (The girls won by the way!) We really should have our version of the rules typed up and published. One of my favorite parts of the night was the ladies decided to all sit at one table for dinner and the guys at the other. I love these girls and they always make the holidays so much better!

I didn’t get any pictures of Miss Caitlin. She was sleeping when we arrived and passed out again during Catch Phrase.
