We said good-bye to 2023 like usual, at the fireworks store. This year was filled with a ton of sports memories and milestones…from Axtell winning District Champs for the first time in 36 years to the Rangers winning the World Series. It’s been exciting!
All the kids came over for Christmas afternoon and we were able to hang out and open gifts and share a meal. It’s very rare that we are together, just us, so it was such a treat! Christmas looks different with older kids, but it is just as fun watching them open gifts and appreciate what they get and then give thoughtful gifts in return. What a special day!
Sonia hosted Christmas Eve in Mansfield. We watched the Cowboys, ate way too much and opened gifts. We all drew a name and bought for that person so it was neat to see what each person got from their person. Winona also joined us from Abilene this year, so that was fun!
We visited Roy and Lynette’s tonight and had a blast. Justin, Heather and the girls were all there and Roy had some new games for us, as well! The ‘roll the can’ game proved to be a bit tricky! We had a great night together eating, visiting and opening gifts!
This year Mamaw had a few new games for us to play…left right center and a reindeer/marshmallow game that was hilarious to watch. There was also a new family member getting to enjoy his first Christmas with us! Nathanael was fun to watch as he explored all the things. It’s always a fun time with the McCaigs!
Mom let Richard and I join her and Dad at the Texas Rangers employee Christmas party this year! We were able to take pictures with the World Series trophy and get in the field and eat some great food! We had a blast making more Rangers memories!!
We enjoyed the youth Christmas party in the cafeteria again this year. The group just keeps growing and growing, so we have to keep adapting. We ate and played a few games and Coach Rowe read the Christmas story. It’s always a good time when you’re around teenagers!
