Now, how cute is this picture? Our little Santa!

Santa Clause Came to Town!

Everett must have been a really good boy this year....he sure did get a bunch of neat stuff from Santa! Chris and I were really excited at how "into it" Everett was this morning! He loved his Santa presents, and wanted to see what to do with them right away. Some of these pictures are in sequential order, but you will get the idea!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

CHRISTMAS EVE FUN, part 1!!!

This year, we are spending Christmas at home and with Chris' family. Christmas Eve dinner was at our house. I prepared the whole dinner - thankfully it all turned out ok. We went to the Christmas Eve service at our church, and then came back to the house to eat and spend time together as a family. It was nice to be at home on Christmas Eve. Here is a little bit from the night.....

The dinner table....

Our ENORMOUS tree....

The stockings were hung from the chimney with care....

Our family!

Mommy and Aunt Shelby Sue!

MORE TO COME....

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!!!

This is what we woke up to this morning!!!! It was beautiful!!! This is actually our 2nd snow of the year...but the first to really have something to show for. We couldnt resist to bundle Everett up and take him outside for a few minutes! He loved it! He even kept his little hat on. Mommy doesnt have to be at school until 10 today!!! We had a 2 hour delay! Hope this makes you feel a little more in the season...we know it did for us!!!

ICE at the Gaylord Texan!!

Today we took Everett to see the ice sculptures at the Gaylord Texan!! They were amazing, however it was REALLY REALLY cold! We made it about half way through before Everett decided he had had enough of the cold. I think Chris said it was about 9 degrees in there. Plus, they didnt have parkas small enough to fit little Everett! Poor thing....we tried covering him with the one they gave us (that was 3 sized too big), but he didnt like it. We are definately going to have to take him back when he is a little bigger - and a note to self....next time we will go on a weekday!!!!! It was pretty amazing - everything you see is ice!!!
