Christmas time with the Hopkins
Our time with the Hopkins began with date night. Ronny and Carla graciously volunteered to baby sit so Matt and I could go out for the evening with Jana and Derek. We enjoyed some yummy Chuy’s mexican food followed by bowling. I managed to bowl a less than stellar game but the rest of the gang did a great job. After the fun of dinner and bowling we returned to the Hopkins house to see Adam and Genie.
On Sunday Dean visited Atascocita UMC for the first time. It was so nice to see so many friends and introduce them all to Dean. We enjoyed the service and the opportunity we had to worship with our families. After church we headed to the Hopkins house for an early Christmas. It’s always fun opening gifts with your family. We were blessed with some amazing new toys and had a great time sharing our surprises with each member of the family. After gifts we enjoyed a wonderful Mexican dinner for which Grandma, Grandaddy and Uncle Dale joined us. Carla, Ronny & Genie really out did themselves, the food was delicious.
It’s always nice to get together with family and we especially enjoyed this Christmas with the Hopkins! Thank you, Ronny & Carla, for such a great day!

WOW – you really captured the fun, family, friends, food, and flair of a too-short Christmas celebration! What a gift to everyone!
Our little “Bundle Me” Dean looks ready for a trip to the North Pole!!
We are so blessed to have such a fun and loving family! Can’t wait for your next trip home for MLK holiday!
