One More Snow - December 29

We couldn't believe it when we got a third snow before the end of the year. After living in Waco for three years and having only one snow (which melted the day after it fell), this has been a real treat! This snow actually started during the day, so the boys and I were able to see the huge flakes falling to the ground. So far we've had 9 inches of snow this season!
It rained a lot before it snowed, so the sidewalk and driveway were solid ice. The boys enjoyed "skating" on the sidewalk!
It's a mini-snowman!

Christmas Day - December 25

We spent Christmas morning at Jen's parent's house in Lubbock. Here are Cathryn, Jerod, Kim, Craig, Megan and Wyatt.
After weeks of waiting, the boys were anxious to open their presents!
Santa brough Colter a bowling ball set,
and Wyatt a "real" globe.
Danny got a trainer for his bike. Now he can ride inside even on the coldest and windiest days!

The Making of a Snowman - December 19

After Danny got home from work the boys went outside to play in the snow and were delighted to discover that the snow was perfect for building a snowman.


A Visit with Santa - December 19

Both boys got to visit with Santa (Colter calls him "Ho-Ho") at Wyatt's preschool Christmas Party. He even gave them a little pre-Christmas present.


"Christmasland" - December 19

Our second snow of the season was truly breathtaking. There was some freezing rain before the snow started, so the trees were coated with white. Wyatt woke up and said, "Look Mama, it turned our house into Christmasland!"

Christmas in Colorado - December 15

Since Danny's parents were going to spend Christmas in Tennessee with the newest grandbaby, we drove up to Colorado Springs for an early Colorado Christmas.
Wyatt loved his new View Master!
Colter couldn't wait to try out the new "up-down" for his train!

Painting the Paper - December 13

One of our favorite Christmas traditions is painting our wrapping paper. We were lucky enough to have a warm afternoon so that we could leave the mess outside!

A Little Announcement... - December 10

Wyatt and Colter wanted to be the first to share with you the news about our new baby. As you can tell they are very excited! The due date is July 24. Wyatt prayed last night that the baby would grow fast because he is ready to play with him. He refuses to acknowledge the possibility that the baby could be a girl! We appreciate your prayers for a safe and healthy pregnancy and baby. :)
