Snow Day

Yesterday we had the best day! Caleb and Caroline went to school and had their Valentine party but then the electricity went out at school so I had to pick them up early. We came home, got in our pj's and watched movies! When daddy got home from work we bundled up and went outside to play in the snow. Brett, Caleb, and Caroine built a snowman, did snow angels, and had a snow ball fight and I took pictures! Today we are enjoying another fun day inside with daddy home from work!

Let it Snow!

Here are a few pictures from our house on Christmas morning. How fun to have a white Christmas!

Christmas in FW

We had such a fun Christmas day! When we got to FW we had a delicious steak lunch, opened lots of gifts, had a Happy Birthday Jesus cake, played with our toys, played outside in the snow(kids and husbands), and enjoyed being with our family.

Here are a few pictures from the day. The second one is our best attempt at a family picture! I also put in a couple of my mom's beautiful decorations and table.

Amy and Jonathan headed home after dinner and we spent the night. The next day Brett and I got to go see a movie while the kids stayed with my parent's and then we went home later that night.

Thanks Nana and Pawpaw for a wonderful Christmas!

Christmas Morning

On Christmas morning Caroline and Caleb woke up around 7:30. I think Caroline had forgotten that Santa was supposed to have come but Caleb opened his door and yelled "It's Christmas time!". They ran downstairs to see if Santa had eaten the cookies and to see what he brought them. They were so excited about everything, it was so sweet! So funny how Caroline was more interested in her nail polish in her stocking than her baby doll! We had a relaxing morning of opening gifts, eating breakfast, and playing with our new toys. After a while, we got dressed and left to go over to FW to see our family.

Christmas Eve

On the 23rd Caleb, Caroline, and I headed over to FW to hang out with my family. That night we went to Amy and Jonathan's for dinner and then went to Casa to see Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Caleb was a little confused b/c he thought it was going to be a movie but, once we cleared that up they both seemed to like it! Brett came over to FW after work that night. Sadly, I have no pictures from this fun night!

On Christmas Eve we hung out all day at my parent's house and kept watching the weather b/c it had started snowing that morning! We had plans to go to church and then out to dinner but, once we got on the road to church we realized that it might be best to not go. So, Brett and I decided to go ahead and go back to our house so we'd be there on Christmas morning. We left FW at 5:15 and it normally takes us 1 hour to get home but, instead took us a little over 2 hours! It was crazy! Once we finally made it home we changed into our pj's, ate pizza, and watched The Polar Express. We sat out cookies and chocolate milk for Santa and then all headed to bed to wait for Santa to arrive!

Here are a few pictures Brett took in my parent's front yard on Christmas Eve. It was like a blizzard--snow and lots of wind! The kids kept begging to go outside but once we did they lasted 30 seconds b/f wanting to go back inside!

Pancake Pajama Party

Our friends Karissa, Lauren, and Claire had a pajama pancake party the week of Christmas. It was so fun to see the kids in their pj's and they all had a blast playing with their friends and eating some yummy pancakes! And, I enjoyed visiting with my mommy friends before everyone was heading off to celebrate Christmas with their families. I forgot my camera but Courtney sent this picture she took of all of the kids. So cute!

Breakfast at the Gaylord

On Sunday morning we woke up and went to the Gaylord to meet everyone for breakfast. After breakfast we walked around and saw all of the beautiful Christmas decorations and trains and took lots of pictures. After we enjoyed seeing the Gaylord we said goodbye to our family because they all had to head home. We were sad to see them go but we had a great weekend celebrating!
